Trovato will create a personalized plan for your child to ensure minimal scarring with optimal healing. If your child experiences a severe but non-life-threatening laceration injury — especially to their face — contact Dr. Trovato immediately.

Lacerations may vary in severity. For example, minor lacerations, such as a cut on the face or hand, may only require minor treatment and can be taken care of at home.
However, more significant lacerations create tears or openings in the skin, typically require emergency medical care.
Through our proprietary KidKutsMD™ app, our pediatric plastic surgery specialist Dr. Trovato can quickly provide help and peace of mind.
He can provide an initial evaluation via a digital image of your child’s injury, which can help establish a baseline care plan.
The app allows us to coordinate care between you (or your point-of-contact) and our board-certified or board-eligible children’s laceration injury specialist.
The app can help you schedule a time for Dr. Trovato to meet with you and your child at any of our preferred facilities in the DFW area. We serve Dallas laceration repair patients in North Texas in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, Carrollton, and Addison.
It happens when you least expect it - your child is playing one minute and the next falls, slices their skin on a sharp object, or is bitten by a dog on the face or arm.
You need immediate medical care if the injury is spurting blood, blood soaks through the bandage, or if the injury does not stop bleeding even with direct pressure applied for five to ten minutes. Your child will most likely need stitches if the injury has the following characteristics:
Stitches are made from various materials, such as silk or nylon, and some stitches are dissolvable. However, they are vital in major skin laceration repair because they provide structure and support for the skin to remain closed; stitches lower the chance of infection and minimize scars.
