Further confirmation of my scarring
Via a friend who is seeing someone else who does these peels in California, someone with care and skill, I got a further opinion via email. This is his opening comment.'There are definite textural changes with white fibrotic areas.' Anyone who's tried to capture textural issues via phone camera knows how tricky it is. But he's clearly able to see the mess I'm left with.

struggling more every day
I had to leave work yesterday as had meltdown over this. The rippled scarring continues. My life is bleak. I feel physically sick every time I look in a mirror. There are no words to describe my daily suffering and I fear I'm losing the strength for this battle.

I am praying for you
Thank you. I'll take any form of intervention I can get:)
I understand what you are going through. I had a procedure performed on my forehead that was supposedly no big deal and now I am left with obvious scars that I can do nothing about anymore. Ive spent thousands trying to make it better to no avail. I go through the daily suffering as you do and want you to know you are not alone. Prayers for you
Kostaboda, I was looking at your profile, are you talking about scars from a flap procedure and the stitches? I was wondering if your surgeon used dissolvable or non-dissolvable stitches? What exactly went wrong? Thank you
Thanks. I still suffer EVERY day. This has caused me to grind my teeth, leading to root canal work. The meds for pain during that period, have caused small intestinal damage. I may need surgery. I've developed eye floaters after 50 years of perfect vision. Then 3 weeks ago, I started to get tinnitus. ALL due to the stress of this. I have to now try and keep calm, to prevent my tinnitus from returning, which I'm controlling with deep breathing, yawning, singing etc. This evil man wrecked my life and doesn't give a damn. Two products I would recommend are Neogeneisus serum, and Augustinus Bader, The cream. I wish you well.
Hi, thanks for your support. Yes, my life is shattered and I'm just existing most of the time. I'm doing everything humanly possible to improve on what this practitioner has callously done to my skin. Have you considered nano fat grafting. I have no fat, so would need to gain weight. I was slim and athletic before this procedure, but have lost another couple of kilos with stress since. But nano fat might help you.
I have a bad atrophic scar on my forehead and have even tried Bellafill for over $1000 yet nothing works. My skin isn't great to begin with, but my wallet would tell otherwise. I look at people all the time and wish I had skin like theirs. It is devastating and I just want you to know I understand how you feel. I will look into what you described. Never give up hope and I will continue to send you positive vibes.

The letter from experts
So here is a summary of the verdict I've received from the consultant who I saw who does similar peels in the UK. He very kindly canvassed a number of European specialists in this peel for their opinions. I would copy and paste, but his letter is PDF and can't see how to do that. However, he said, the consensus was that I was unevenly peeled and that's what caused the scarring and hypo pigmentation. Of note, at my first follow up with Dr Kass, I showed him my left cheek, a big area that he actually missed and hadn't treated at all. He agreed he'd missed it and did a light going over that area with the chemicals there and then in his office. So this further suggests he has no methodical procedure to ensure even coverage and just applies it sloppily. This man's cavalier approach to my skin has wrecked my life. Oh and by the way, the wrinkles around my eyes are still there. Not only that, my entire cheeks crinkle when I smile. I'm having to pay a fortune on consults, psychological support and ultimately some sort of remedial treatment. My next step will probably be PRP. The tacrolimus is showing no signs of repigmenting the deeply scarred areas. Even camouflage make up doesn't cover them, they are so bright and blue white.

I am so sorry this happen to you!!!
I'm sorry this happened to you. I no longer trust doctors. They are happy to take your money and make you sign but if things go wrong they wash their hands of it and act like the patient is a nuisance. Probably happens to a lot of people nowadays. I hope you can pursue compensation.
What peel is this? No one is posting what type of peel it was? All peels vary in intensity and results; also the experience of the person applying it.
