It's been awhile between updates...
I am thrilled to report that my initial fear of a big, obvious and unsightly scar was never realized. In fact, it is the complete opposite! You can barely see any mark at the excision site- no depression, no redness... Nothing!
I know I've said it many times before but I am so grateful for Dr. Emer taking me on as a patient and giving me such a superb result. I've seen SO many pics on RS and online where post excision you can totally tell something was cut out, stitched up and the individual then needed fillers to improve the their appearance- but not me! My excision site is perfectly smooth and no one can even tell that it was the complete opposite only a few short months ago! Before I was always so self conscious of the spot and always work makeup in the hope it wouldn't be SO obvious (it was only slightly improved) well, I can now go make up free and am completely confident in doing so- what was such a small procedure has made a HUGE impact- so thank you a million times over, Dr. Emer!
I could not be happier with my outcome and will be visiting Dr. Emer again on a few weeks for the next phase of my treatment and lip fillers so stay tuned....
Attached are some pics taken recently- with and without foundation- so you can see how well I've healed.

Almost a month post and SO happy!
It's been a little over a week since my last update and I'm a few days shy of being 1 month post treatment but already I am SO happy with everything improving slowly but surely every day.
I have to admit I'm a bit terrified of my spots becoming hyperpigmented as I've recently discovered my body has a tendency to do so and sometimes throws me a curveball in the healing process to keep things fun for all invested :/
However, I've been following Dr. Emers instructions and the skin care regime he put me on do fingers crossed that won't be an issue. If
My fears do eventuate I am positive Dr. Emer will catch it early and address it so as to ensure the best outcome for me. It's funny, even though my time spent with Dr. Emer has been short, his warmth, caring nature and expertise displayed during our interactions has made it very easy to trust him and know with absolute certainty he has my best interest at heart.
That said, the pics uploaded were taken 2 days ago, the site of the punch excision by my nose is still indented but that is not an issue for me AT ALL. It is not that noticeable without makeup and with makeup blends very well. The spots on my neck/chest are still pretty obvious as they are still red but that is to be expected and again I'm not concerned... Thank goodness for makeup because they can be disguised fairly easily. It will be interesting to see the degree of improvement the upcoming treatments (scheduled for July 19) will bring.
All in all I am beyond thrilled by how things are healing and in my choice of cosmetic dermatologist. Dr. Emer is quite simply the best!

2.5w update!
Everything has been going well, I've been continuing to heal up and having been using the creams recommended by Dr. Emer to speed up healing and prepare my skin for the upcoming laser et al. treatment.
The spot on my chest is a bizarre thing, about a week before I was due to fly to LA it appeared and despite not touching or really even knowing what it is or the cause of it, it is SO prominent that it has become a major source of frustration. Just awful. Concealer blends it well (pics attached- neck down is bare, makeup and concelear free) but I am hopeful it will fade or... Best case scenario- go away over the next few weeks/month and not make me spend additional money to address it (or maybe I should just start investing in a wardrobe of turtlenecks?) as that would only add insult to injury per se :)
On that note- the pics attached were taken last night, I apologize for the mess I am- this week has been incredibly trying and I've not slept much but hopefully you can see how things are going.
Happy Friday friends!
