I have had one keloid scar because of an operation am I still safe to get microblading?

Question

I have had a keloid scar on my chest since January because of a mole removal operation. I have never had a keloid scar before and got a patch test and everything was okay ! Can I still go ahead and get microblading

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

The  chest is a particularly common area to develop keloids.For the most part, you can have keloids on the chest and not develop keloids on the face. However, microblading of the eyebrows is in a noticeable area. The safest technique would be to do a small test area and wait approximately two to three months to see what develops.Jeff Rapaport MDCore Aesthetic-Realself Top 500

I would not advise you to have microblading if you have a keloid scar. It's better to be safe then end up with keloid scars on your eyebrows from microblading. Best of luck!

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

I would stay away from microblading because this process causes the types of wounds that keloids might develop
