If you are very fair skinned, you will probably have some pinkness to your skin that will last a bit longer than in the average patient. The risk of infection is extremely low. I have only seen 2, and in one case the patient's dog licked her face when she got home. Neither patient suffered any problems from the infections (i.e. no scarring). Problems occur when patients aren't followed closely by a qualified doctor (dermatologist or plastic surgeon). It is very important for your doctor to be able to realize when their is a problem and how to treat it. Take care, Dr. Groff
