Not Worth It
Spent: $900 in Florida
Right after my punch excision my sutures were secured with steri-strip and lots of bandages. Except when I got home I vomited really badly. I guess the procedure upset my stomach. They just used numbing creme during my procedure. My question is could the sutures come undone? I bled a lot through...

I had an old scar on my lip. Revision was out of the question. (see my picture). I was looking to camouflage it using tattoo makeup. Instead they offered me a non-surgical procedure.
The results were pretty good for three hundred bucks(see my picture).

Spent: $2,500 in Santa Clara, California
I had hyperparathyroid surgery over three years ago and ever since I have a 3.5 inch visible scar on my neck. The unfortunate part about it beyond the scar itself is that the surgeon never found the abnormal gland after a seven hour surgery. You can imagine that I was devastated.
I have...

My doctor recommended Dermaflage, a topical dermal filler. Its temporary and lasts all day as it conceals my facial scar from a bicicle accident. Its really easy to use and i HIGHLY recommend it.

Horrid experience. Why? I am convinced the plastic surgeon just did what made him the most money and NOT what would be the most effective.
My scar was bound down, but the surface was otherwise smooth thanks in large part to my doing my own peels. But it was horribly bound down. Three times I...
