3 Vbeam & 1 CO2 laser so far for right upper lip venous lake
ORIGINAL POST
R Upper Lip Venous Lake
WORTH IT
I have had 3 V beam and 1 CO2 laser treatments to dissolve excess skin from venous lake formation of Right upper lip outer quadrant area. It looks disfiguring. I have been very patient to rid this but now my only recourse is to have it surgically removed WITHOUT leaving a scar. I’m going to consult with Dr George V in Miami. I’m sure he will end my annoying lip flap issue once and for all.

After 1064 YAG laser
Photo is 5 days post laser! Turning black. Finally moving in the right direction!
I had this treatment at Dermatology Associates of Tampa Bay. Trying to help others with this unsightly eyesore. It’s been quite a journey that began in 2018 when I just had a small blue dot on upper lip. The derm Dr gave me an IPL laser treatment and it came back. It’s become bigger over time and my current Dr in the Villages told me that the only treatment was to cut it out. I did some research and found out that there were other less aggressive treatment than surgical removal. I didn’t want a scar either. It’s one thing to cut out some cyst on back but not on my face!

Lip venous lake update
It’s been 10 days since 1064 YAG laser and I’m hoping this scab will soon be gone and my lip restored to the way it looked before. I’m keeping my video chat with Dr V in Miami this week because I will go to him to have it surgically removed if necessary.
Sorry to read your previous treatments haven't worked, I hope your consultation can give you a way forward, please feel free to update anytime on how you're doing.
