Hi,
I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back?
Thanks!

ve had a series of surgeries (buckle, gas bubble, silicone oil, laser, etc.). I developed a cataract and some scar tissue due to the multiple surgeries. The scar tissue that was on the retina has some how detached and is now floating around in my eye. My surgeon has suggested that we remove the cataract and suction out the scar tissue at the same time. Will this cause the retina to detach again? WIll the scar tissue floating around cause an issue?
Hello everybody,
After surgical mucocele removal, I developed what is thought to be a lower lip neuroma, constant pain, swelling scar. Already attempted laser repair surgery, where the neuroma and scar tissue were removed. After 6 months everything was reformed as before, same pain etc.
I was told that the only solution could be cortisone or botulinum toxin injections
I wonder, is there no way to know if there is actual nerve damage?

Various methods used for mole removal are excision and cauterization. Although laser removal has been tried for moles, it is not usually the method of choice for most deep moles because the laser light doesn't penetrate deeply enough.
You can get this mole evaluated from a dermatologist and get it evaluated. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Of course laser scar removal can be used on the genitals to treat scars since laser removal is commonly used in removing warts caused by HPV. From my personal experience, laser therapy is not bad at all and involves very little pain after a session of laser treatment although the pain might be a little annoying when the treatment begins (it feels like bacon grease that occasionally splashes up and hits you in the wrist when you're cooking; nothing too painful).
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.
An epiretinal membrane is a layer of scar tissue on the macula. It can sometimes cause distorted vision and loss of acuity. The procedure to remove the membrane is sometimes called a "membrane peel." It can be done without doing a vitrectomy, but this can result in lots of troublesome floaters. So a vitrectomy is usually done, too.
He suggested using laser to remove the scar tissue in my left eye first. After a month, the vision in my left eye was somewhat blurred. I went back to him and he told me the scar tissue "flap" didn't fall down as planned. He advised me to wait another (6) weeks to see if the "flap" falls away. The alternative is an operation to remove the scar tissue.
IF the scar is interfering with vision, sometimes a rigid lens may be used to smooth the cornea and allow vision. Other options for the scar include surgical removal with a laser if it is superficial or if it is deep, a corneal transplant may enable clear cornea. Speak with your doctor about the best options given its appearance for improving vision.

I've had an enourmus amount of retina problems since march. I fell and hit my head, had a very tiny retinal tear. Had laser in the office and was told it would probably never detatch.
3 weeks later it started to detatch and there was a bleeding vein behind it.(was told i had bad luck) Went for surgery, had re-attachment, gas bubble. Things went well, was seeing 20/40.
Hi,
How are you? Like any surgery, knee surgery also has scar tissue which can remain for the rest of the life, but it's size might decrease after the surgery. As you mentioned, it is 18 months after surgery I don't think this scar would dissappear.
Normally, the scar will be approximately six to eight inches long. It will be straight down the center of your knee unless you have previous scars, in which case they may use the prior scar. There will be some numbness around the scar.
