“Worst Excision EVER! - Los Angeles”

Not Worth It

Posted 27 Aug 2010
At the end of March, a cosmetic surgeon performed an excision on an old indented scar I had on the bridge of my nose. It has now been 5 months & the new scar is still red & has stretched with visible suture lines in it. It is way worse then the original scar I intended on fixing as well as a lot longer then the original scar.
This doctor obviously didnt know what he was doing, he initially had ensured me that the scar would be thin & white. I have been suffering with the results & dont know what else I can do.
I'm scared as to whether I should risk gettin it sutured up again & if the results will be any better the secod time arouund.Its right in the middle of my face! Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the LA area that can fix this???
