4 months post op of both scars
Some have asked about the chicken pock scar on my head that Dr. Prichard revised. It's not completely flat but it looks much better.

The pock scar is at the top left of the image. It's barely noticeable but there is still a minor depression

Healing is going really well. I wear the tape every night, however, sometimes I forget to put it back on after my morning shower. The tape comes off every time I wash my face. I took out the stitch on day 6. It was super easy and painless. I just had to snip the knot off the end and pull it through. This is what my scar looks like at around 5-6 weeks. It looks wayyyy better and I'm so glad I did it.

The results look amazing so far. My 2nd excision kind of ended up like that but somehow it ended up opening a little, and failed just like the first one. I did not pay anywhere near as much as you did though.
You paid $1,700 for one excision? I made the mistake of going through a dermatologist the first time and paid $170. The second time that I did this I ended up going through a plastic surgeon, and had paid around $400.
I also noticed you had two scars excised, so did you end up paying $1,700 for both scars, or just one scar excision?
The reason I am asking is because the price seem quite steep for a scar excision but if the results are almost perfect then it be entirely worth it.
After looking at your pictures I see that you actually paid $1,700, and he added in the second excision for free.
Wow that is really steep a star excision though.

I thought so too. He explained that my old scar was due to the ER doc using glue in my wound instead of stitches. The actual muscle was separated. He had to recut my muscle and sew it tight. I had a mass of scar tissue. I probably could have found someone closer for cheaper but I didn't find any results like mine from any other doc. I'm glad I went to him.
At what stage of your healing did your scar reopen?

Also he told me to tape it got 3 months. Maybe that's helped it not open? I need to tape it now
I also wanted to add that he did the top excision free of charge. The eyebrow was the only one I went in for. I think because it takes him very little time and the area was already numb so he figured he might as do the one above too.
how many stitches???
There were internal dissolvable sutures andone long external stitch I had to remove 5 or 6 days later. I just pulled one end and it slid right out
I have a scar on my forehead kind of like the one you have. Would you mind posting pictures of that one as well? I've been looking into scar revision for a while but don't know what resources to trust. Thank goodness for Real Self!
Yes, I wiill try to hunt down some befores to compare to. :) I am not sure what I think about that revision. It's still there but it doesn't seem as deep. the eyebrow revision looks great.
Sorry it took so long. Currently healing from a lip lift :)
I am considering bringing my daughter for similar procedure. Could you please post picture of your forehead as well. It looks amazing.
Finally posted one! Thank you :)
