Ommmmmm

Oh btw mini punch grafting for a surgical scar was talked about in this thread if you're interested:

Do you think another revision could heal better this time because there would be less tension or is that totally out of the question? Not sure if it makes sense but this website blurb kinda describes ...

A close-up pic of the scar would help (doesn't have to show your whole face). Retin-a is definitely a great idea. Maybe vitamin C topical. Vitamin E is actually not the best for scars and can produce ...

That makes so much sense... I think you must be right.   Do you wait 4 or 5 weeks between sessions?

I totally notice this same timeline for both microneedling and 50% TCA cross.

Did your previous scar revision have interior stitches so it would be less likely to pull apart? Maybe the first time the skin had to be pulled a lot to come together and there was too much tension? I...

Wow, your progress looks great. You're right the TCA cross spots look worse for a while but they do keep filling in. Keep it up and I think you'll get great improvement.

Yes, most I treated only once a couple were treated a second time. It does take a while though I thought they still looked enlarged for like a month but now completely back to normal. Can't even tell ...

I had several scarred pores that I performed 50% TCA cross on (wouldn't use higher % or might scar). For a few I used the pointiest toothpicks I could find and the rest I actually used a wooden bristl...

How's the healing going? It usually takes 2-4+ weeks to completely heal from TCA cross. Feels like a long process. I keep the wounds/scabs moist with vaseline or aquaphor and find that makes a big dif...

You could also do subcision + suction the first couple treatments and see how much your own body can fill in the scars. You could then follow that with subcision + filler at a later treatment and you ...

Several subcisions + suction and fillers is the way to go. Your surface texture doesn't look too bad, which is what lasers are for. Good luck!

In my experience 50% TCA Cross works like a charm for scarred pores around the nose area. At least I've had great luck with it. Interesting idea though...

I agree with everything PCT14 has said. I think combination therapy (subcision, microneedling, chemical peels and topical retinoids) would be a safer starting point than jumping straight to excisions,...

Agreed at the very least get on topical retinoids ASAP.

Please let us know how it goes. I follow him on RealSelf and he seems to always give really great, no BS answers to questions. Looks like he is very experienced performing subcision and fillers. I hop...

Thanks for sharing your experience AcneSucks. Did the laser resurfacing blend the new, small linear scars created from your punch excisions? Can you tell where they were? Congrats on your improvement!

I don't have much experience with fillers other than I would personally never get permanent filler. I would post a question with your pics on RealSelf for that or find a reputable professional and get...

I agree with PCT14's good advice. Multiple subcision + suction treatments with or without fillers (maybe at final treatment depending on improvement achieved from subcision alo...

Read up on TCA cross. Be extremely careful with high strength (70-100%) TCA though, maybe start with 50% TCA for cross with a dermatologist. This is ONLY for performing cross, 25-35% TCA is the MAX fo...

Oh nooooo I'm so sorry to hear this. I know the feeling of getting my hopes up too early. The disappointment hurts big time! I think it must still be a positive sign that the hypopigmented skin was ab...

SAS34, sorry in advance if this isn't helpful, not a possibility for you or too personal... Have you considered getting bangs or side bangs to completely hide your scar? I know it still sucks knowing...

Dude, that's amazing. So happy for you!
