I Have a Lip Liner Tattoo is Surgical Option a Good Choice to Remove It?

I agree totally with Dr. Kaplan. Surgery, no matter how well performed, would leave you with a needless scar. It may be that the previous laser that was used was not the ideal laser for removing black tattoos. As Dr. Kaplan suggested, either the Q switched Nd: yag or perhaps, a q-switched Alexandrite should work. We have the Q switched Nd: yag in our office and it is excellent at removing black tattoos. However, be advised that it will take more than one treatment. more

Hi Timabir. Surgical removal of lip liner is a terrible, terrible option. The scars will be much worse than any lipliner we could imagine. If the removal did not work, then find another medical office to do it. Q-switched Nd:Yg or q-switched Alexandrite lasers are the only ones that can remove permanent makeup and tattoos so find a physician near you that has one or both of these. Do not get it surgically removed!
