I had a nasty large area of scars on my leg which made me very self conscious in the summer and when swimming, after 3 operations I have a much smaller thin scar from the surgery site
The team at purity bridge were fantastic and so kind an supportive and Mr Pacifico was an excellent surgeon. I am so happy with the results and will feel a lot more confident in the summer months. Thank you.

Just wondering why the scar revision was 3 surgeries? Is it usually multiple procedures for a larger area? If the scars are more spread around is it still possible to condense them into one revised scar?

Hi
The original scars were in an area of about 6/7cm so if they remove too much in one go the skin wouldn't have a chance to stretch so would be left with huge divert or scar would split& would feel very tight. So I had the operations around 3months apart to allow area to heal and skin to stretch ready for the next one.
They then did a different type
Of stitch on the last one so I didn't have the stitch marks next to the surgery scar.
I'm not sure is the answer to your second question,it would depend on the size of the area. I think you can post on the website and ask for advice from surgeons.
Good luck :)

Hi, I have similar scars that I am searching for the past year now to get rid of. Where did you get the procedures done? I googled Purity Bridge and it says its in the UK. I am from the east coast in America so perhaps there is another surgeon or clinic in my area that would perform this kind of procedure. Thanks so much for sharing!

Was it $1,763 for all 3 surgeries? I recently went in to talk to a surgeon about the cost of mine and I would also need 3 surgeries and I was told it would be $1,200 for the first surgery and $1,000 for the 2 additional surgeries. I'm trying to figure out if that is a good price or not.

Please let me know, thanks =)

Yes altogether for the 3surgeries. I had them done under local anaesthetic. Would have been a lot more if had general anaesthetic

Yes mine would be done under local anesthesia too. Thanks so much for the info. I'm going to get a second opinion now bc it seems they are trying to charge me way too much.

Also, how long did you wait between each surgery before you had your next surgery?

I had two large scars on my knees from falling off a bicycle as a kid, because I peeled of the scabs, and ever since then I have been very conscious showing off my legs, but recently I found ScarlessMD on Amazon and I wishing a week have seen visible improvement in my knees and am ready to be back by the pool this summer!

As requested here is updated pic. I've put on some weight so the scar stretched width wise but still looks so so much better
