Tattoo Removal
Do you have a tattoo you would like removed? Has it become faded or stretched? Are you afraid it may keep you from getting a job you really desire? Or do you just regret getting it in the first place? Whatever the reason, surgical excision tattoo removal can take away that unwanted tattoo permanently.
Surgical excision is especially appropriate for smaller tattoos, though it can be used on larger ones. This tattoo removal process involves cutting the tattooed skin out and then stitching the gap closed. For larger tattoos, it will not work to simply stitch the skin closed so a skin graft from another part of the body (typically the inner thigh or underarms) is often used to cover the open section of skin. Following surgery, you will have a small (and constantly fading) scar but your unwanted tattoo will be gone forever.
Before deciding on this potentially painful and expensive surgery, be sure to think through all the costs and risks associated with tattoo removal. The best way to do so is to talk with Dr. Robert Schmid. He will describe the procedure and diffuse any concerns you may have as he explains your various cosmetic surgery options and answers your questions. He’ll take into account your lifestyle, goals and personal preferences in tandem with his sound, experienced surgical judgment when making recommendations to you. He will answer your questions and explain the entire process, working hard to diffuse any worries or concerns you may have.
