How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One week after my scar revision and it looks great!
Just had my bandages taken off after a week from having my scar revision. My scar is pencil thin and looks great! I have stitches taken in another week. Will snap some pics when I have the stitches taken out. I'm very happy I decided to do this.

My PS agreed at my last post op appt that scar revision would benefit me. I had 3 rounds of steroid shots already and the areas where I had open wounds due to spitting stitches are dark and raised. So, I went in today to get my scar revision surgery. I was nervous b/c who likes needles and I would be awake the whole time. It's just done under local anesthesia. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all. Some areas of my stomach are still numb from the TT so it didn't hurt too badly getting all the local anesthesia. I had about 10-15 injections and after the first round, some areas weren't numb enough so I got some more. Yay for local anesthesia!! After that, it was all fine. Didn't feel anything. Just some pulling from stitches. It took about 30 minutes and it was done. He fixed the area around the T where the scar was dark and even fixed the vertical scar b/c it's a little wide. We chatted casually while he worked. And the nurse was so nice and held my hand b/c I was nervous. Dr. Basu's staff is just so great! Anyway, will post pics after I get the stitches out in 2 weeks.

Spoke to someone at my PS office today and I asked some questions about what I'll have to pay for my revision. She said no dr fees but possibly might have to pay "supply fees" which could be around $500. Ugh. Seriously, might not even do it then. I figured it would be covered. Anyway, just wondering what is the "norm" with others when it comes to revisions. What did you have to pay? My patient coordinator will call me back tomorrow so I'll know for sure tomorrow. We will see.
Provider Review
I read lots of great reviews on realself.com and decided to see for myself. I also went on another consultation and Dr. Basu's office blew the other place out of the water. Elizabeth, my patient coordinator, was amazing with answering my questions and following up. The nurses and staff have been great. From the beginning to surgery to follow up care, they have been great and always make me feel cared for. I would recommend Dr. Basu to anyone who is interested in having a TT and BA done.
