WORTH IT$1,850
I haven’t posted an update in a while. I haven’t been back to the surgeons since February because of covid. But my scar is looking good. It has turned into a white line. Even the spot where I had a stitch come out doesn’t look too noticeable. Overall I’m very happy that I went though with it!

Follow up
I had a follow up with the surgeons and they suggested doing a punch excision on the indentation from the internal stitch that came out. I would only need two stitches. I have to wait a couple more months before I can do the procedure. Here is what it looks like currently.

how much was it for the surgery?

I have the same type of scar on the side of my cheek and was thinking of getting the same procedure done

I'm assuming the price will vary but I was originally quoted $2000. Plus I had to pay for over $300 for Botox. It included all of my follow up visits with the surgeons.

Hi there, do you still feel unsure about your thoughts on the results of the procedure? Or are you pleased with the progress? I have a chickenpox scar almost exactly the same as yours in the same spot between my brows.

I'm waiting until I reach my one year mark to make a decision, but so far I'm glad that I went through with it. I feel more confident. Good luck!

Small complication
Starting in December I started forming a small bump right next to my incision. In early January I went back to see the surgeons for another round of Botox (I have to keep it up for a year following the surgery). They took a look at it and tried to scrape it and see if they could feel anything. They thought it might be an undissolved internal stitch that was being pushed out. They didn’t feel anything. It almost looked like a pimple. They said that sometimes the body rejects the internal stitches and pushes them out and it can look like a pimple. Any way now I’m left with a small indentation where the bump was. I’m hoping that with time and continuing to use my silicone sheets it will fill in similar to how the other stitch marks on the outside have started to fill in.

Hi I am considering getting this done. Has everything settled down for you now? I think it looks really good btw.

My new scar looks great other than where I had an internal stitch come out. But the doctors said they can fix it. But I have to wait a couple more months.

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! I’m really pleased for you. If you have any more pics to share it would be great to see how it looks now.

I posted an update. I'm disappointed that I have the small indentation from the stitch that came out. It doesn't look too bad but I felt like everything was going so well before that happened. The surgeons seem confident they can improve the appearance of it though.
