I'd like to see pic's of pre op and post op side by side showing your skin closer up because from your pic's I can't tell whether there is improvement or not. I will say for six grand, I would have expected a "lot" more!
I think the overtly negative comments about smoking are more due to social stigma than anything else, and with saying that I personally think you would have still had these same results even if you didn't smoke. For the hollow cheeks, there are several types of injections that you can get that will help with that. I would seek out a different doctor however unless they are willing to fix what they did, or didn't do until you are satisfied without you paying more money. I was thinking about having this type or similar type of resurfacing done, but now hearing from you and others on this site, it seems the minimal results are not worth the down time and cost.
I'm wondering "why" you are happy with these minimal and lasting uneven pigementation results? You also spent a hell of a lot of money on this, way, way more than what is should cost. For six grand if I were you I would be suing someone for my money back if I had the results you got!
Hi,
First of all, I doubt that they actually used a fractional laser on you because this procedure is far far more expensive than $100 USD, think more like $4000 USD! I don't know what you had, but if I were you I would try to find a plastic surgeon in Mumbai or Delhi that has good references. I lived in Delhi for 3 years and know how things are there to some degree (which in my opinion is bad compared to usa standards) If you have the money to come to the USA to "fix" this, then do it. But be prepared to spend thousands, NOT hundreds.
