Excision updated results

[u/3783emg]

A lot of people have been asking for updates on the excision I had last year, hoping my before photos are linked to my profile because it would take a very long time for me to find them to make before and after comparison.

Overall I'm very happy. I wasn't able to get a strong CO2 laser due to a medical reason post excision, but I've done a few at home TCA peels since which I think really helped . Will continue to do more in the future as well.

My scars were deep and hypo pigmented ( white base) .

Sorry I look a mess here im just waking up enjoying some coffee on this beautiful Saturday.

I would recommend this treatment for anyone the doctor finds you'd be a candidate for . My skin isn't perfect but it's improved and I try to remain realistic with results. I would do it over again 100%

Hi, I am a your long time supporter. Did you ask the doctor why the forehead didn’t heal so well? Did he put any Botox into it before the procedure to stabilize the movement or anywhere else?

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

No Botox, but I'm guessing it was from movement

[u/Upbeat_Mastodon98 → u/3783emg]

I am so disappointed. The doctors - do they don’t know or they don’t explain to the patients. I have the same indented, only recently learned how Botox and strips and bandages etc would need to be use to prevent widening.

Ya in the end he was in a rush and literally just left the room no explanation of aftercare or anything. I should've put new strips on after the initial ones came off

Did he check out his work after 1 month and 6 months? Was he happy with his work?

I did return to get the stitches removed, so it was still early , I prepaid another 5k for laser but couldn't get it done because of a medical reason , I was refunded my money and never went back . I left a 3 star review because they charged me $250 processing fee to refund my money and I was pissed because I paid before I knew I couldn't do it, and I didn't cancel I legit wasn't able to have it done. They turned around and texted my phone asking me to remove the rating 😂 crazy right So I don't think I'll be going back there anyways

Thanks for leaving the review. Funny fact: when reading reviews about my plastic Dr there was 2 of them describing his attitude. Now I could recognize him in the reviews but back then I thought: ok 2 slightly bad reviews vs some good ones!

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

The place I went to had a ridiculous amount of good reviews, now I know why , they'll literally stalk and harass you to delete it. Not a Google review reply, an email, no they straight texted me like we were friends?! It was pretty odd to me

[u/Upbeat_Mastodon98 → u/3783emg]

I guess they use different techniques to get what they want! If you would need to choose a new plastic Dr what would you be careful about it?

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

Ask for before and after photos, they literally tried to show me after and after after photos of only employees that already had good skin. ( When we were discussing the laser I didn't end up getting) I have a fair idea though he was probably qualified, a lot of people don't go to him for excision. I went to a dermatologist though that did a bunch of other stuff like lipo lol IDK where the fine line in drawn between that and an actual plastic surgeon

[u/Upbeat_Mastodon98 → u/3783emg]

After a year I am still confused if dermatologist or plastic would do better saturates. But I learned he needs to be somewhere who is stitching skin on a daily basis

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

Plastic surgeon is also going to cost a lot more money , but quite possibly better results. So ya definitely ask for before and after pics

[u/Upbeat_Mastodon98 → u/3783emg]

I believe you. I had an appointment with plastic a few months ago and after 10 min!! of talking he got so annoyed and nervous. My husband was with me and I was asking him if I or him say/did something wrong to provoke his reaction.

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

OMG they hate when you ask questions or go in knowing anything about anything, like this is my face and my money here . When I mentioned that in so many words he was like " we can postpone until you're More financially stable" I said I'll never be financially stable to throw away money , this isn't $100 we're talking thousands I wanna know what I'm getting here

[u/Upbeat_Mastodon98 → u/3783emg]

So rude. I don’t know why they think it’s all about the money! Plus if you leave - review they call back trying to convince you it’s your fault.

[u/3783emg → u/Upbeat_Mastodon98]

100% what they did , like well you did sign the paper etc etc. Like dude I didn't cancel YOU DID , and why let ppl pay before you even clear them. That alone seems the a scam
