In April 2008 I was looking for a doctor to help me with my acne issue. Has a consultation with Dr. Gillum he suggested for my skin type i needed to have a dermabrasiom surgery. I should have left the hospital but I didnt. My face is all scared up both my cheeks and jawline. I've been living like this for 7 years! I have ptsd because of this and anxiety. I no longer live in Indiana where he "practices."

Thank you! I am trying to figure out what to do to improve the scars on my face? I have an appointment next month with a new dermatologist see what they say? The dermatologist I was seeing wasn't very helpful. I did do 8 chemical peels and a PDT treatment but they didn't help. Praying that someone can help me!

I m so sorry what you have been through dear
Time will heal everything I think for acne prone area dermabrastion was a completely stupid treatment
Why don't you sue that doctor ?

Time has not healed my skin in last 7 years it has gotten a lot worse as my skin is aging. My scars look like rolling acne scars. I never picked at my face! My acne was not that bad. Dermabrasion is the WORST decision I ever made! I can't believe I paid someone to ruin my face! I have to live the second half of my life like this & there is nothing I can do!

I can relate your situation can even I have alot of pitted scars but I have undergone through this dermabrasion procedure hoping for the best.
If you don't mind can I suggest you with some treatments what my dermatologist suggested ne with?
He suggested me with?
He suggested me with RF needling along with PRP ( platelet rich plasma )aka vampire facial lift.
You can Google it...
I hope best for your skin dear :)

Please let me know how the micro needling goes. I have been looking into dermabrasion for a scar on my forehead, and was informed about micro needling but don't know much about it.

MaxineD I changed my mind on the microneedling. I read some bad experiences from others who have had it done. Plus I was going to be the first person she has ever done the procedure on. I don't want to take the chance.

I wish I could be more helpful but I personally don't know of anyone who has done the needling. I've just been reading reviews. If you decide to do it be sure to get someone with knowledge and experience! I was going to do it UNTIL I found out the person doing it has never done it before. I didn't want to be the guinea pig! I backed out! Don't want to take any chances of destroying my face worse than it already is!

Kristy3249 you say you don't want it to become worse than it is. This was from dermabrasion? I have a deep scar in the middle of my brows and surgeon in bev hills recommended doing dermabrasion and filling a little fat behind it. I was thinking it was no big deal but then started researching it on here and have found many bad reviews and people saying dermabrasion and lasers have actually caused them more harm than good. Please help!

Yes that is right Dermabrasion left my face scarred up on both of my cheeks and along my jawline. Best of luck of you choose to do the procedure.

im so sorry this happened to u...
i have been burned by laser from which i have scarring...i know what toll it can have on ones life and the whirlwind of awful emotions. retin-a and hydroquinione help as far as skin care regime.Fillers or fat transfer, needling, peels and facial shaving (dermaplanning) help improve the scarring and pigment over time. Dr jason emer is a scarring expert..maybe a consultation is worth a shot. good luck and god bless.
