Piercing scar revision in Melbourne? I'd like the hole to be completely removed and stitched up. (Photo)

July 13, 2018
Asked By:SarahLee88 in Melbourne, AU

I have a monroe piercing (photo attached) that I'm looking to get removed. I'm interested in doing this via scar revision (NOT lasers) - I'd like the hole to be completely removed and stitched up to leave flat scar rather than a hole). Does any one know if any doctors in Melbourne (Australia) who do this? Please let me know your recommendations. Thank you.
