laser scar new york

I was wondering if they had a laser surgery for removing a scar from the retina? I heard there was a new procedure called laser ablation that would do this. If not what can I find out about removing this scar from my eye?

Upon the dilated exam the new doctor said he saw the scar tissue from the previous repair and it looked like a tear with the scar tissue surrounding it. The new doctor said he did not know if it was something new or just from the previous laser repairs. I have an appt. with my retinal surgeon tomorrow. My question is how do they actually repair retinal tears with lasers? Do they laser the actual hole or just around it? Does the laser repairs impair ones vision?

I have a scar on my penis aroud the area of the foreskin. Im circumsized and have had no issues in the past. It was caused from friction in my earlier days as a kid masturbating. My new girlfriend asked my about it has becoame a bit of a mental issue........ Is there any creams or treatments you could reccomend to take away some of the visabilty?

your link just said that the CO2 laser works really well with great cosmetic results. That laser, CO2 laser, is a relatively new laser, and does have a wide range of conditions that it can treat. Though there are numerous other lasers that can be used. Going for surgery may only cause more scar tissue growth and leave a similar marking on the lip. Talk to your doctor about your options and then decide from there.

Laser may be more expensive and they may require more sessions for effective results. This depends on the extent and depth of the scar. For small scars, then Laser may be helpful. Microdermabrasion may even help. How large is this scar?

dear colleague I am completely agree with his diagnosis of Spitz nevus. However it should be noted that the lesion is of exceptional difficulty of interpretation and a close follow up is necessary together with an enlargement of the incision. I have made further enlargement and further histology says that there was only a small scar left by the first surgery with nothing under.

Hi, I had cataract surgery in August 09. because of bleeding it became an emergency case. The retina became detached. With laser it was re-attached. after a month the retina was cracked ' With more surgery to fix that with laser. Now I am blind in the one eye because of scar tissue in the center of the retina I can see my hand in front of my eye but not clearly because a new lense has not been inserted.

If your doctor feels the loss of vision is due to the film behind your IOL, it should be hard not to proceed with capsulotomy based on potential risk. Just keep your scheduled post-laser follow-ups and report ANY new flashes or floaters.

I recently saw a retina specialist who said that the retina change was from scar tissue due to the cold laser treatment. He said it was often the case that the vision improved after the initial treatment but deteriorated after 4 to 5 years from scaring. He said my vision lost was permanent. Because of the vision lost he said they no longer performed the cold laser treatment to stop fluid leakage. Is there something that can be done to restore my lost vision?

I've not heard of laser doing that. I know laser can be used to clear the artery but as far as I'm aware scar tissue can still form. One way of helping stop scar tissue is the application of radiation. A radioactive substance on the end of the catheter wire is held in the area for a period of time, damaging the dna of the cells so they can't reproduce so quickly.

Im so sorry, I also had PCOS when I was 16. I never got my period and I started growing hair on my face. They discovered the PCOS and I had them removed. I eventually got a normal period, but the hair growth has never stopped but got worse. Ii am 43 now. Got pregnant both times on the first try so that was not an issue but the hair growth on my face is so embarrassing. I am like the freaky bearded lady in the circus. My darling husband does not mind at all and is very supportive.

t usually leave a scar. One medicine which has been advised by many dermatologists for scar diminishing is contractubex gel/cream. You can seek your dermatologist/surgeon’s opinion before using this cream. Otherwise you can go in for glycolic peals, laser treatments and pressure dressings. Severe scarrings may need skin grafting by a plastic surgeon.

Dear Michael Kutryb, MD: My doctor suggested I laser a floater that may be near the front of my eye. Doesn't this laser procedure leave scar tissue that may later cause problems? I'm not sure if I want scar tissue in my eye. Does it vaporize the floater of is it true it leaves scar tissue that can pull on the eye?

Also recently i developed a pimple on my penis from new underwear that rubbed me the wrong way. I also picked at that and have a scar on my penis. They are both pretty recent so I'm not sure how much they will go away, but the one on my penis looks like a little pock mark. I'm a gay male who is self conscious about the scarring in both of these areas and I was wondering if there is anything to about it.

When i was like, 4-5 a dog bit me on the lip and kinda ripped it a little and left a scar. It looks like a bump on my lip and then theres a little line right above my lip from it. i really want it to go away! Im 14 now and it still hasnt gone away. Everytime i meet somebody new, they ask about it and its really embarassing. PLEASEE HELP!

Anyways, two of the lacerations left scars, but surrounding the scars are pink skin that appears to be new skin growing after the area scabbed up (the scabs fell off after taking off bandaging). I am very concerned that this pink area surrounding the scar will not go away, its been 1 month, and its still the same color as when the scabbing first came off. Could you please tell me what is wrong, and what I can do to make it match my skin color. Thank you.

Laser treatment a dermatologist will tell you how much..

In October 2010 I had laser surgery for a detached retina. A cataract was removed at the same time. In January an exterior lens was inserted. Later that month the retina detached again and I had a second surgery to attach it. The Macula also partly detached and I now have scar rtisuue on the retina. In August, the artificial lens which seemed to be causing considerable discomfort was replaced with an internal lens. My eye is constantly irritated and painful.

I thought it was normal but after a week there is a brownish scar (thasts what i think it is) on my upper lip what do i do? What products can take this scar out? Is scar removel treatment considerable? Please help me!!
