Hi Dr Lam,
I have an indented scar right above eyes, on my forehead. many years ago, I was butchered by a surgeon. A year later went to a fabulous surgeon who saved me, made the horrific looking scar nicer, but after several months. again my scar indented, and very noticeable. Years later I decided to try more time, since I have lived with traumatizing scar on my forehead. went to a surgeon a year ago, who performed a scar revision, was convinced it would work, although I explained that I haven't had much success with dissolving stitches or my 2 previous scar revisions.. I felt convinced by him, and his confidence. he preformed another scar revision, applied dissolving stitches, and regular ones, three days later removed the regular stitches. In a few days scar had opened again. 3 months later performed another scar revision, I was very nervous, this one worse than first one. Now I have a bigger scar, wider horrible, lost money and traumatized by Doctors.. Dr Lam can it be that my skin just cant take any more surgeries, should I just leave this alone, and learn to be happy again..What is it, why cant this happen for me. what are they doing wrong??? please Dr lam tell me something?? Another thing just recently consulted with yet another surgeon, he is head surgeon to two main NYC hospitals.He has been the only Dr to tell me something different, he said he would freeze the entire forehead with botox,but still use dissolvables. After so many surgeries going bad, i just feel even with that method my forehead will never do well with any surgery, again can it be that I just have to learn to live with this horrible scar. I'm so afraid that it can go bad again, im tired of getting my forehead opened for nothing..he also just wants to do half of the scar just to see.. please tell me does this sound logical, or something that might work.. should I even attempt to go there once again....Thank You. natalie
