So Glad I Did It! -Fort Myers, FL

I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to have this done, my choice of doctor/practice, the speed and process of recovery, and my healing. I do feel my satisfaction is due in large part to the care, attention to detail, and follow up the doctor and his staff have provided. I have one tiny area, upper right if viewing photo, that is slightly pointy and not as smooth as I wish. This is not unusual as little tweaks are often necessary after result is seen following some time of healing. Good news is revision for this type of tweak is quick, easy, and not something I will have to miss any regular life for beyond a couple days of light care for a tiny pea sized wound to heal-no stitches and no pain or discomfort expected-this is more like having a mole excised and not a full surgical opening and closing. So happy! And for those that have his done at same doctor, the new even tinier and more quickly dissolving sutures and small but unique technique adjustments will likely eliminate this little problem without a revision. That is awesome to know so I can pass recommendation on to friends wanting this procedure! Even with a tiny revision coming, I feel I got a top quality surgery and a great healing process. So glad and now seems like so long ago, though he return to looking completely normal will take more months, I am already pleased so much!

Seems like I have completely forgotten I had this procedure now. I have no issues and area is continuing to settle in to its new shape. I have conducted all activities as normal for weeks now and am delighted with the results. The area will take months to completely settle and for final result to be seen. But already looks good to me. The only discomfort I have had in past weeks is itching from dissolvable sutures that weren't able to be removed completely and take weeks to completely dissolve on their own. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone that needs/wants it. Just be prepared to have discomfort for few weeks and know it will pass quickly enough and be worth it. And I suggest asking if doctor can use a new faster dissolving super thin vicryl suture to shorten discomfort! My doctor now has switched to a better one available for this reason. Lucky future patients! :))

Today (yesterday at this hour), was day 14 and, while moments were painful and I was concerned with progress, the area is quite healed and entirely comfortable. Whew! I am amazed now at the speed of the healing in last couple of days-especially since my skin reaction threw an unpleasant wrench in things last week. I am basically done having to focus on area or take extra special care. More healing will continue to produce final result but the difficult part is over - I am so glad and pleased!
