Dear Mishmaah21,Thank you for the question. The scar at the site of the mole excision on your chin will continue to improve for the next 6 month. It will continue to look better but unlikely to fill the area completely. I advised to follow up with your provider.LOVA- Lake Oswego Vein and Aesthetic
Thank you for your question and photographs.Wound healing after skin excisions can take up to 2-3 months, but unfortunately, the indentation may be a permanent scar. With that being said, effective treatments for atrophic scarring are aimed at triggering the skin to produce more collagen, the body's natural filler. Any of the modalities that injure the skin with subsequent collagen formation such as fractionated laser, dermaroller, resurfacing lasers, deep peels, etc., may help your condition. Fillers are also a good option, specifically Bellafill®, a permanent filler. Bellafil® is FDA approved in treating acne scars. The right modality for you depends on your skin type, expectations, patience, downtime, and cost. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your skin evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.

Thank you for your question. The type of procedure for mole removal will determine if the nose piercing can remain in place or if the piercing needs to be removed during the procedure. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your skin ...
Thank you for your nice question and photo. Your hemangioma / cherry angioma of the upper eyelid can be removed with a cosmetic procedure performed under local anesthesia in the office. I perform this type of removal very commonly in my practice and have removed hundreds of these. You need to...
Thank you for your question and photographs. These areas seem to be healing well. Even though you had the mole removals done somewhat at the same time, the areas can heal differently and some can take longer than others to heal. The one on the neck still has a scab that is healing and make...
