After removal of 21 lymph nodes due to breast cancer many years ago, can a laser procedure be done safely on upper arms?
Dear oneparadox2,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Laser for pigment can be done safely, especially on the outer side of the arms. This would not be in the area of the laser. I recommend doing a test patch first in the area closest to the radiated part. You may also want to check with your radiation oncologist for he/she knows exactly how much and where the radiation was given.
