horrible recovery and devastating outcome

I flew to Taipei, Taiwan to undergo a mechanical dermabrasion in Aug 2013.
The surgeon is Chuang Jia Wing???

Not to mention the 1-year reddness, my face is further scarred. Now it looks as if some flesh has been scratched or spooned out. It is even deeper and wider than the original scars. I though all these things are temporary but the fact is large area of tissue has been abraded. Even worse, the tissue loss appears on the area where there was no acne scars. As a result, my acne scars did not improve while he added some more scars on the smooth part of my face.

Can you imagine wearing a facial mask in the rest of your life? I have worn a mask for more than a year because my face is severely injured.

I tried to contact him but the clinic just wants to persuade me to do another dermabrasion even though my face is still red and injured.

Dr. Chia JUng CHuang aka dr Jimmy Chuang. He has the most complaints in the Taipei, Taiwan area.

Yes when I went through with microdermabrasion it left my face with tiny holes on my cheek that have not healed. I would definitely look into suing that doctor. Good Luck to you.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Dermabrasion is a risky procedure. I wish you had just stuck with laser treatments - although I see from your posts that you were not happy with the results of lasering. I hope that you were able to find another doctor/surgeon to improve upon the injury the Taiwanese doctor caused you.

Dermabrasion also ruined my face! My face looks like I have rolling acne scars and big pores. My face looks oily all the time. Sorry you have to go through this to. :(
