Temple should be fine since that area doesn't move much.

 

I did one on my cheek and it got bigger. A dermatologist did it. Id go to a plastic surgeon.

Excision is a viable option to improve deeper or more stubborn scars so I wouldn't be nervous really just know that it changes the scar you'll still have a depression and a line where it heals but it should look more normal/better if done properly.

For stubborn/deep scars, excision is always an fair option imo.

Thank you for the response.  This makes me feel less nervous

Thank you for the response.  A dermatologist is doing mine as well :/ ive heard mixed things on going to derm vs plastic surgeon.  This one seems to specialize in acne scars though and does alot more acne scar treatments then many other derms in the area.

I personally wouldn't go to a derm for plastic surgery. ^

yes doctor Davin lim has performed punch excision on jowls for tighting. He has more that Ive seen somewhere on his instagram.

In other cases, depending on how severe the jowls may be, a mini face lift may help address this issue if you are a good candidate.

I know microcoring is out and is intended to address this issue but im not sure if its as effective as an actual facelift.

Anyway as as far as I know about laxity and jowling.

I am 3 weeks away from my first excision, so I am trying to find some good results to calm my ass down.

Is Mohs Surgery better than traditional excision? Does anyone have any insights?
