Should I get subcision if I'm afraid of lumps on my face for long time?

Question

My doctor advised me to do subcision ((Taylor L) because I can't visit for multiple procedures) but I am very afraid of the side effects. I have read many peoples experiences with TL and they almost always say lumps develop in their faces that stay for years. If it would only stay for a month I would not be so scared but my mental health can not handle that long time with huge lumps on my face. Should I get it done? I had micro needle and co2 fractional multiple times but didn't help much.

I, too, have had patients present to me after having a Taylor Liberator procedure with this type of complications from the apparent aggressiveness of the approach. A Field Subcision about which you can learn more in the archives of RealSelf or through a Google Search is a less aggressive form of full face+/-temples that is used for elevating and smoothing numerous overlying acne scars after just one treatment session. I have personally been performing subcision since 1994 and Field Subcisions for well over fifteen years. Make sure to consult with an experienced acne scar specialist. Best of luck.
