ProcedureFees Post-Operative Instructions
Surgical tattoo removal refers to the process of physically excising or cutting out the tattooed skin to eliminate the presence of the ink. There are different surgical methods used for tattoo removal, including excision and skin grafts.
Surgical tattoo removal is typically considered for situations where laser removal may not be as effective or practical. Factors such as the size, location, and characteristics of the tattoo, as well as individual preferences and medical considerations, influence the choice between surgical and non-surgical methods. It's important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon to discuss the most suitable approach based on specific circumstances and desired outcomes.
While laser technology has developed and advanced, laser tattoo removal may not be a suitable option due to cost, availability of the nature of the tattoo. Surgery may be an alternative.
Quick Results: Surgical methods such as excision can provide quicker results in some cases, particularly for smaller tattoos.
Alternative Techniques: Surgical removal offers alternative techniques, such as excision or skin grafts, allowing for flexibility in addressing various tattoo types and sizes.
Single Procedure: Depending on the size and nature of the tattoo, some surgical methods may require only a single procedure to achieve removal.
