Birthmark removal surgery Q&A

Birthmark removal feedback

Q. Will Birthmark Removal Surgery leave scars?

A. Make sure you consult with a top cosmetic/plastic surgeon before your procedure, In general, it depends in the type of birthmark that you are having removed.  For port wine stains, laser surgery leaves only a low chance of scarring, but the cosmetic surgeon can always use a slightly lower intensity of laser for the procedure to hopefully do the job and ensure no scarring.

Q. What should I do before my Birthmark Removal Surgery to Prepare?

A. Plastic surgery doctors don't all agree, but many suggest that you take vitamins C and E before the birthmark removal surgery and also generally eat well so your immune system and general health are up to par for the healing that will take place after the birthmark removal procedure.

Q. Is there anything special I should do the night before my birthmark removal procedure? 

A. There is nothing particularly special to do the night before your birthmark removal plastic surgery, except perhaps preparing yourself psychologically by visualizing the new skin that will replace his port wine stain.  Also, of course, it's good to get a good night's sleep beforehand.

Q. How will my skin look right after my birthmark removal surgery?

After laser surgery there will be discoloration and redness that will fade. Soon there will will just be healthy skin where the birthmark was!
