| Pros: | NONE, ABSOLUTELY None!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Cons: | Other than throwing away $6,000, having hyperpigmentation, hypo pigmentation patches in 4 places, 12x more scarred areas than b 4 and NEVER wanting to see anyone I ever knew B 4 the surgery again, hmnn? Oh and living never want to go in public again |
| Bottom Line: | This surgery should be banned, yes, outlawed.
I researched for years, upon years. Went to a very reputable Dr. A in Dallas, TX. But, here is the deal, the surgery is just a misery waiting to happen. I have only ever actually heard of one person that is happy with it. I am a research type person, researched the dickens out of this surgery, thought this Dr. would be the one to do it. I now KNOW, there should be NO ONE doing it. It will ruin your face like no ones business. I hop this helps someone out there decide NOT to do it. I just wish I had the face I had before. NOw my skin is more thick, much more scarred, lines, hyper spots, hypo patches. My face is a mess!! I am as fair as someone could get too. I hope NO ONE with any kind of color to their skin at all ever does this surgery!!! It is too risky, THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE, folks IT IS YOUR FACE YOU ARE GAMBLING WITH. |

| Pros: | NONE....WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Cons: | loss of skin pigment
Additional scarring |
| Bottom Line: | I had two of these 6 weeks apart back in the 70's and I am still trying to recover from the damage the doctor did to me. DO NOT DO THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU ARE A REAL GAMBLER!!!! If you do, make sure you check out the Dr. thoroughly before you let him touch you! |

| Pros: | None |
| Cons: | I have 1000x worse scarring than I began with. I am not exaggerating one bit either! I have loss of pigment on both sides of my face, especially in the jawline. Folks, I am as white as you can get, very fair skinned. IVORY. |
| Bottom Line: | Please don't do this, there is a reason many dr.s no longer do this surgery. I use to believe it was because they were un fit or something, not good at it.
THAT ISN"T TRUE, the surgery itself just stinks.
The pigmentation loss has left me with so many fewer options to fix my scars. Which mulitiplied, yes, multiplied, there are many more lines now too from the dermabrasion diamond thing. And folks you figure it out, I went to one of the most lifted up derma's on here. Although, I know that derma can get rid of acne in a FLASH, I mean severe cystic acne. But, the dermabrasion is life altering and not for the good.
The surgery is just not worth it, and I have heard and experienced so much negative from this surgery, I have only ever heard of one or maybe two people who say it was good for them. |

| Pros: | Not sure yet. |
| Cons: | Very painfull, itchy, and red. I was not prepared for this long recovery. |
| Bottom Line: | I had upper lip dermabration for wrinkles one month ago. After the procedure it looked like I ate a jelly doenut...very bloody. It took about ten days for for a scab to form and fall off. The skin is now very pink/red,swollen,itchy, and smoother at this time. I will let you know if this improves next month. I sure hope so...my daughter is getting married in March. |
| Recommended: | No |
