“Bleeding Accured After Punch Excision - Florida”
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...

Not Sure
Spent: $300 in omaha nebraska

“Ugly Red Neck Scar”
Not Worth It
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.

“Scar Revision NOT - Tampa, FL”
Not Worth It
Spent: $2,100 in Tampa. Fl

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...
