  • Posted to Dents in my Face on 25 Dec 2011

    Hello Kd, this is a long time later. Two plus years. My face is still dented. I did speak to another doc who said the collagen would fill itself in. The condition has gotten better but my face is still dented. i am getting ready to look into fillers. I have also developed a white circle under my right cheek bone about 1 1/4" in diameter. the skin here seems loose, not as tightly connected as the rest of my skin. St this point, I feel the damage is permanent.

    I'm sorry to hear of your experience. I wish I had good news. Unfortunately, my face is still dented over 2 years later. It has gotten better but i wish i had the face i started with. At this point, I am sure the damage is permanent. My next move is to look into fillers. What I have learned is that dermatologists are not necessarily cosmetic docs. I will carefully check reviews and references before doing anything else.

    I have had other skin treatments which went well but they were performed by cosmetic docs who, by the way, charge four times more than an average dermatologist. Now i know what i paid for.

    i'm not sure which laser was used on my face for rosacea but it's been 9 months and i still have dents in my face.

    i recall dr sami ( jefferson dermatology) starting the procedure at a setting of 7(?). then he said to the assistant, "turn it up" then "turn it all the way up". late that night my face was bright red with deep white lines in it. these were so severe that i called the emergency room at jefferson. they were quite rude on the phone and told me to call the dermatology dept. it was 3 am fri night. i called. my call was not returned until monday morning. my face appeared to be getting better so i didn't go in. when the dents did,t go away, i tried another doc who also told me the lines would fill in with collagen. i'm still waiting. my skin texture us much worse and the rosacea is still present.
