Having endured 16 years with an obnoxious facial congenital nevus birthmark, I finally decided that it was time for a change! The strange looks and questions were beginning to get old. After interviewing many reconstructive surgeons, the choice was obvious. Dr. Ridgeway was the only man for the job! 1 year and 4 painless surgeries later, the results are beyond beautiful. I could not have made a better choice. surgeries to remove a small prtion of my birthmark were preformed about every 3 month. Between surgeries, my skiing would naturally stretch and heal to allow more skin to be removed for the next surgery. ( a.ka. "biologic creep")

Hi, would you rather wish that your parents remove it when your were little or it is better that you did it yourself when you are fully aware of what you are going through?
