yes, however, i tend to restrict the removal to the face and neck. also, i would only consider it if we irradiate it immediately afterward (that is it is prescheduled with radiation). without radiation, almost all keloid removals fail in my opinion.

Hi Dr.Lam.

What is the average cost of keloid removal surgery? They keep getting bigger and these things how horrible no one should have to suffer with these. I want to get them removed. Can anyone tell me how much I should expect it to be or if you know if you if the price of keloid removal surgery is covered by insurance?

it all depends on the size and location of the keloid. i can take a look at it via a PM if you would like to give you a more accurate estimate. i don't take insurance but you could probably find someone to do it for you through insurance.
