When I was 6 days old, I had a surgery due to something called twisted intestines (in layman terms) and as long as I can remember I have always had a very deep depressed scar. Yesterday, I finally got a scar revision surgery done. The procedure was fairly quick (1.5hours). I woke up sore which... Read more

I got the scar on my right eye from an accident when i was 5 yrs old. It has always bothered me but I never thought there was anything I could do to fix it, until I met Dr. Prichard. He listened to what I wanted and was very confident that he could improve my scar. I am so happy Dr. Prichard was... Read more

I am 40 years old, had 2 children and was left with saggy loose skin. I had my tummy tuck with muscle repair 10 months ago on 4/8/11. I am very happy with how my tummy looks. I was, however, left with a very thick scar and a dog ear (skin that sticks out at the end of the incision). Most of the... Read more

I was in a car accident as a child and needed emergency surgery, which left me with quite a big scar that only got worse as I grew up. It caused a huge indent across my stomach which I hated- I'd be paranoid that people could see it through my clothes and it caused a lot of relationship problems... Read more

Dr. Janjua saved my face. I was terribly scared in an alarplasty gone wrong by another surgeon on NYC. My face was uneven, botched and scared so bad I had a hard time leaving my house. When I had an initial visit with Dr J we came up with a game plan that he also talked over with colleagues, I... Read more

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... Read more

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). Read more

When I was younger I had a mole by my nose and my mom told me to get rid of it by placing battery acid. It got rid of the brown color but I formed a scar. It makes me really self couscious about my face because I don't feel pretty. I went to a derma doctor when I was 15 years and he... Read more

Oneyear ago I went to see a skin/vein specialist to treat it and he performed 3 laser treatments which further left left red (and raised) scars all around the edges of it. 6 months later he injected Celestone Chronodose (Betamethasone Injection) into the scars on the edges, and I have been...

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... Read more

Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian is an amazing doctor!! I am so pleased with the results I have seen after just 3 months of treatments. A year ago, I had a scar revision done by a doctor in Newport Beach on my neck and I was not pleased with the results. My scar did not heal quite right. Instead it... Read more

I had a cyst from my face removed years ago by another dermatologist that left 2 small pitted marks at the site, which eventually morphed into one big hole about 1/4" in diameter. Dr. Hazeltine removed the scar tissue and restitched the hole/gap. The procedure took about 15-20 minutes total... Read more

I had to have six stitches on my face on a vertical gash about an inch in length. My Dr. recommended laser scar resurfacing or else chances were good if left untreated the wound would remain a red keloid scar. After the stitches were removed and weeks of daily vitamin e gel to help treat the... Read more

What I did need was very non-invasive-minimal pain at all. The scar revision was impeccable. You cannot even see a scarline at all. The smart lipo was amazing and I'm seeing the changes in the 3 weeks since I've had it. There is really no downtime. I had it done on a Friday, rested over the... Read more

Ive been with my keloid for about 5 years. I saw these people getting rid of their keloids with only a rubberband. So I decided to try this method. My whole experience lasted 11 days. Today was the eleventh day. The first couple of days were very painful. I iced my ear and that made it... Read more
