I'm looking to get a tattoo removed. Its decently large. Its goes up about 10 inches wrist to a little over my elbow. The width is not very big. At some points its about 2 1/2 in width and others about 1 1/2. I'm not looking to try laser because i could put a lot of money into the tattoo removal and it wouldn't be a guaranteed removal. Any advice? Also can anyone give me a price range. Thanks!!
In order to excise the tattoo you need enough skin laxity to close the wound. Generally the forearm doesn't have enough extra skin to close a tatoo excision like yours in one setting. You might need a staged excision and you will have a big long scar from doing it.
I have a stretch mark on the back of my knee, so I got a tattoo to be over it. Now I want the tattoo to be excisioned out. Is this possible? It is around one inch long less the one inch thick (tattoo). If so any recommendations for doctors in California, Orange county area? P.S. I want to use excision for the method.
There probably isn't enough extra skin behind your knee to excise the tatoo without causing problems with full range of motion of the joint as Dr. Placik has said. Even if you could excise it and close it, after time it could either restrict motion, or conversly, it could stretch out and be a big ugly scar.
