I have several painful keloids and after seeing your pictures and reading your review i want to know have you had any regrowth since having keloids removed?

yes please update us. It would be soooo HELPFUL. I am losing hope because it seem that nothing can be done w/ chest keloids.

Everything went well with my surgery. Unfortunately Dr. Jones only removed 3 of my keloids but he said due to the positioning of them... It would be better to remove the others on a later date. I have went through 2 superficial radiation treatments and they are painless. My only complaint was the pressure needed to secure the beam over the incision. Uncomfortable feeling when you have just had surgery. Other than that, I'm good. Dr. Jones was a sweetheart and he really calmed my nerves going into surgery. I'm just mad that I didn't get a selfie with him lol. Will post pics later.

Just curious, why did you need the superficial radiation treatments? Was this to keep the tissue from forming more deep scars?
August 28, 2015
Exactly. It kills the skin cells or weakens them so another keloid doesn't form there

How much did you pay for this service ?

Mines was covered by my insurance because they cause me pain. Ask your insurance company and talk with Lexington plastic surgery and they will let you know if it's covered. Good luck

I went for my consultation last week if it not to much to ask what insurance do you have???
August 25, 2015
That really cost an arm and leg. I can't afford it.

Oh that's awesome! I am in pain! Keloids on chest, both arms, and at my back. It all started from acne. My insurance is BlueCross Shields. How much is the copay?

8 days post op. I returned to work on Friday. Sore and a slight struggle but I made it????. My incisions are still in tact. Every now and then I will get sharp pains from them but I would compare the pain to what I had when the keloids were there originally. I am still on antibiotics and I discontinued the pain meds yesterday. My incisions are starting to darken but I was told that this was a side effect to the superficial radiation. No biggie though... Better than having those keloids there. Anywho I have to remove my sutures on Thursday.... So I will update on that experience:)
