2 Years Later

Well, it’s been 2 full years since I started my excision journey. This will probably be my last update. As I’ve said countless times before, worth every penny. I always knew I’d have a scar, but it is a million times better than the tattoo. It’s pretty easily concealable also as it sits right at the pant line, so most of the time I can’t see it anyway, not that it’s even that bad. I used silicone sheets for several months following my second excision, and was going to do vbeam, but ultimately decided against it and just let it heal and fade on its own over time. Overall, I’m super happy with my results. So glad I found Dr. Sigalove, and happy I can move on with my life without my tattoo.

5 Months Later

It’s been almost 5 full months since my second and last excision, and I am so happy with the results! The Embrace Scar Therapy silicone sheets made a world of difference. I noticed that after this excision the scar healed more nicely and smoother, as opposed to my first excision where I didn’t use any type of scar treatment. The only thing I have left to combat is the redness of the scar. I will begin getting VBeam laser treatments on it this month to remove some of the redness more quickly (rather than just time passing). I’ll post an update after I have a few of those sessions done.

8 Weeks Later

It’s been a full two months since my procedure. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Feel like my movement is nearly back to normal. I don’t feel any tightness or tugging on the incision area anymore, but I’m still being careful with exercising and movements as a scar isn’t ‘mature’ for quite some time, and I just want to prevent it from stretching as much as I can. I am still using the Embrace silicone sheets, will apply round 7 tomorrow, I really feel like they’re making a difference. My surgeon recommended VBeam Laser to take some of the redness out of the scar as well, so I might consider that in the coming months too.

Overall rating

Dr. Sigalove and Lori were incredible. They explained everything to me in advance, were super easy to get a hold of if I needed anything, and were open and honest with me about the procedure and what to expect.
