It's been more than a year since Nov 25th, 2015 and I love how my old scar looks now. You can still see a line when you look closely and when it's really cold outside (like right now in NYC), my old scar looks more red and obvious, but it is such an improvement from what it was before. I'm still planning to improve it, maybe with laser, but still researching my options. I don't plan to start the treatment with my next scar until I'm completely satisfied with this one.

Wow, thanks for showing the healing process of excision. It's not as bad as I thought!

$1,064 for one scar? Ouch!

Did you have any laser resurfacing done?

Can't notice any redness!

It looks great! Is there anyway you can put up a brighter photo? You say you can see your line but I can't see it in that photo. I had a scar revision recently and am disappointed as it looks indented. Do you think makeup covers your scar 100%?

This is amazing. I have a scar on the bridge of my nose (old chicken pox scar and it's dark!) I absolutely hate it and I went to him for a consultation like1-2 years ago. I never went back to do it because I am scared of the healing process and if I will be able to go out since its right on my nose. But looking back at your experience, I think I will go for it......

After more than 6 months, I went back to check with the doctor again and found sometime to take a picture. The lighting wasn't good for the picture, but you have my other scars as comparison. My scar is almost flat, sometimes it is still a little red, other times you can barely see it. Overall I'm happy with the operation.

Here's an updated photo, my scar is still hard and red, but it's getting better. Since I have a long scar, I know I need to give it more time to heal, but it looked much better from a month ago, right?

HI.
Hope your scar is improving. Are you planning to go for excision of your second scar?

Yes, but I plan to wait until the end of this year (November or December) to do the rest, one big scar and two little ones. My current schedule doesn't allow me to have down time.

Aside from the slight redness and, and the area looking a bit raised, I see a huge improvement. How does it look now, did the area eventually level? Do you have any recent pictures?
March 12, 2016
HI. Can you update any new pictures of your scar :)

Way better !
