Asked By:lyeafoyale in Pleasanton, CA

Hi, so I am an Asian male age 20, I have a lot of keloids on my chest and some on both sides of my jawline. I did some research online and did see that chances are incredibly low on the eyelid. However, as a person that is very keloid-prone, this is still a huge worry after all, eyes is the most noticeable part of the face. Should I go through with this surgery?
