Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

You do indeed appear to be very inflamed.  Avoid hot water directly on your face.  Keep a simple/minimal skin care routine.  Do not scrub the skin.  Try using aloe vera in order to soothe and also protect your skin from free radical damage.  A calming facial will do wonders for you as well.-Fernanda, Esthetician at Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery.

Lisa Jenks, MD · Answer

You do appear very inflamed.  I recommend putting a thin layer of honey on your face 4-6 times a day for the next few days.  If needed, you can thin the honey with a small amount of warm water.  Let it sit on your face for 10-15 mins and then gently wash it off.  Honey is very anti-inflammatory, so should help you to heal.In addition, be sure that you are applying a good physical-block sunscreen and reapply frequently.  Any sun exposure will cause additional harm to your skin. I would also suggest that you follow-up with your provider and show them the picture of your skin.  It certainly appears as though you got an aggressive treatment.
