Let me preface this by saying that I am obsessive compulsive about flaws with my skin and appearance. I had scar tissue along my upper forehead that made me extremely self-conscious in public. It turned me into a recluse. I refused to go anywhere and was depressed most of the time.
I had scheduled consults with surgeons. All of them told me the same thing. "Not much could be done." According to them, the scar tissue was in a spot where it was "too difficult/risky to revise." Obviously this made me even more depressed. I didn't want to live with this scar the way it was.
Well, not one to just give up, I stumbled upon the Skin and Vein Center one night while browsing the internet for another option. I figured I might as well try again.
I scheduled a consult appointment and met with Dr. Seiger. The thing that struck me instantly- and I'm sure every other single person who has met him absolutely agrees- is that he genuinely cares about people. He wants you to be happy. He wants to help you in whatever way he can. He understands that physical disfigurations often come with psychological baggage, and he is extremely empathetic and understanding.
I never had any type of "cosmetic" surgery performed before, so you can imagine I was nervous. But Dr. Seiger and his staff assured me that the scar could be revised with little risk for complication. So I scheduled for it to be revised.
The day of, I was even more nervous. But once, again Dr. Seiger and his staff were able to reassure me. There was no pressure. So- to make me feel better- he split the revision in half. Offering to revise half of the scar now, and half in a second treatment a month later. He told me this was the scar would be smaller in length. I agreed to this.
One of the best decisions I ever made.
Everything went smoothly. Very professional. And yet still very comforting.
It's over a year later now. And my resulting, revised scar looks 90% better than it did before. It looks so much less visible that I can hardly believe it's only been a year. If you are looking to change something about your appearance, the Skin and Vein Center is the place to look to. Don't wait. You don't have to live with what bothers you. The staff is always friendly and professional. Dr. Seiger is like a therapist and fantastic surgeon rolled into one. And he wants you to be the happiest you can be. If I could rate this place higher, I would.
I will continue to go back for any other problems I have.
