I had a tattoo on my wrist for two years and grew out of it. I decided to try laser removal and after 9 goes it wasnt really coming out so I decided on excision. Excision was a easy process of around 20 mins. it was bandaged up for 7 days and its 10 days post op and looking rather nice! Im so happy the scaring will fade down and I now no longer have my tat :)

Also, if you could please share the roundabout cost for the excision and what kind of facility you went for it (plastic surgeon?). I am seriously considering this, thanks!

Wow, that healed really WELL! I would take that scar any day over my faded wrist tatt! Maybe a dumb question, but is your mobility in your wrist the same? As in, the only side effect to the procedure is the slight scar? THANKS AGAIN!!!

Hey Rosiebum, Can you post an updated pic of the healing process? I am curious to see the results b/c I too have a wrist tatt that is on session 7 of laser removal...needless to say it is still visible and I am seriously considering this procedure. Any neg side effects to excision on the wrist? Thanks! I hope you get this; seems like your journey on this website is finally over. CONGRATS!

How is it healing? I am currently researching this procedure for a tattoo on my ankle.

Thank you so much for posting your pictures! We don't have very many reviews that show excision results, so this is very much appreciated!

How is the area feeling? Is it painful or itchy?

rosiebum 22 Mar 2013
Not itchy or painful at all. He said the skin could be tight as there isnt much give but this only lasted a week. I took a week off work to let it heal and its gr8! More pics in 2 wks x

I hope the healing continues to go well, and I'll be looking forward to seeing the next set of pictures. :)
