| Pros | I think punch grafts are the only way to go for very deep and pitted scars. |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | I had 12 punch grafts in Aug. 08. They look like darker bumps, but i was told dermabrasion, or laser will take care of that to smooth out the grafts/color. I'm going to have more grafts. Just changed Doc's, will let u know of results, but i can say i'm happy 12 holes are gone. $250./ per scar/graft. Tried 3 other treatments for acne scars, but no improvement for deep pitted scars. |

| Cons | I had a Punch Biopsy done and it cost $250, took forever to heal and now looks no better than it did before the procedure. Obviously my plastic surgeon is a prick! |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | Wouldn't do it again. I have very fair skin that damages easily, so if you do as well I'd hold off on this procedure. Get a second opinion! |

| Pros | Affordable; healing only takes about 10 days before makeup can be worn. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Difficult to find a reputable doctor who performs the procedure; improvement difficult to predict. |
| Bottom line | I had three scars punch floated with Dr. Y in New Orleans about a year ago. One was a typical ice pick scar, which responded pretty well to the procedure. I would say that particular scar has received about 45% improvement. My other two scars were a little trickier--they were two small ice picks, but they were right next to each other, so the shadowing made the area appear like an indented line. After punch floats, the area looked about the same as prior to the procedure, maybe slightly better--less than 10% improvement. Since this area (on my right cheek) is so tricky, I am still looking for a suitable treatment. It is important to keep in mind that initially, due to swelling, the scars will look amazing. The swelling, of course, goes away after a couple of weeks, which directly affects the appearance. So, please keep that in mind for people who are rating their results within the first two weeks of the procedure. |

| Pros | Seems to have worked!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little downtime because of redness & swelling |
| Bottom line | I had two deep and wide cystic acne scars and I just had scalpel excision with sutures done 3 days ago. Today I had my top layer stitches out and you almost can't tell I had scars there to begin with. I am so happy!!! There is redness and swelling right now so I am hoping when that goes down they still look as good as they do now. Anything will look better than the holes I had. Right now I'd say the improvement is almost 100%. I do believe a good outcome most definately has to do with the plastic surgeon who does it. |

I had this technique done, and not only did it take forever to heal, but my scar was MUCH worse afterwards. This happened almost 3 years ago, and I am STILL really upset about it.

Had it done and then dermabrasion with little to no difference. One scar even spread in diameter. If I could do it again, I'd save my money. Also notice that as I age, the scars come back. I've had dermabrasion, punches, grafting, and laser resurfacing, all with very little improvement
