Would you go under the knife or laser?

Question

I was always one of those people when I was younger and said that plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery should only be done if a person was disfigured by an accident (fire, birth defect, etc.) until I got older and had 4 kids.
I'm almost 36 and have fair skin that burns easily and everything shows up! I have a tiny constellation of moles on my right arm, some on my face, stomach and shoulders, I also have one little age/brown spot on my face and would love to have them ALL removed? If money wasn't the problem I would do it. I did a search and found a place in NY (too far away tho) that would cost $900. for one laser treatment area.

My question is if you have had laser treatment for spots, moles or freckles and what they did for you and if you had good results?

Some day I may get the nerve up to do a tummy tuck if anyone had an experience from that surgery, I would like to know how long the surgery was for you and recovery time? (I had gone through 2 c-sections before.)

Answer 1

I would go under the knife only if i was disfigured. I, like many others, have had things about myself that I haven't always liked, but now I like myself as I am (and as it turns out, I'm not the only one). I have come to the conclusion that most people do not see in the mirror the same image that the rest of the world sees. i honestly belief that there is beauty in everyone. Everyone just can't see it.

By the way, thank you for the cautionary tale.

Answer 2

No I would not unless there was no other method of removal... I am BLACK and my skin color is kinda mocha brown..I have acne scars too and I use a natural bleach cream and a tube of Hydroquinone 4% everyday and it works every time I get a scar. In about 3 weeks they are lighter. If it works on my complexion it should work for you. Go to a dermatologist first, then get a second opinion from a natural doctor on how to clean your skin from the inside out. Try that first and last result, surgery. It is too expensive and sometimes addictive so you want to make sure that it is right for you.

Answer 3

I would for my acne! They'll never GO AWAY! I would also for my acne scars if I had the money! Money is always the problem! I have and ugly mole in the back of my neck I named it Aunt Mary mole! Because my Aunt Mary has the same mole!
