I want to have it removed because I'm very self conscious about it. what are my best options?
There are many ways to treat keloids. Excision, is certainly an option, but may simply lead to recurrence and possibly bigger, more visible scars. A better method may be dilute cortisone injections with liquid nitrogen freeze to help penetration. I always remind patients that improvement, not perfection, is the goal. As always, see someone who has experience in dealing with these kinds of scars.
I went to a dermatologists to see if they could recommend anything to 100% fix the depressions in my faceThey highly recommended the punch biopsy, and claimed after the 3 stitches came out my skin would be even,with a slight scar that would fade but all in all I would not be left with any depressions in that area whatsoever.after they removed the stitches I was left with 3 even larger, deeper more pronounced and jagged depressions than what I had started with and no possible solutions.
There are no guarantees in life except death and taxes, to paraphrase Ben Franklin. Widening of facial punch excisions does occur, and it is frustrating for both patient and physician. Re-excision of the sites, subcision with filler (silicone, Radiesse, or Artefill), and time are all possible options. You need to see your physician for these and other options.
