I received a consultation for laser treatment at Yonsei Yepi Dermatology Clinic in Nonhyeon-dong, Incheon.

 

The first one was in the first grade of elementary school

I had an accident at the swimming pool.

I got hit in the face with a key thrown by a friend in the locker room.

There is blood on the side of my lip

I had suturing done at a plastic surgery clinic.

 

At this time, the plastic surgeon

Although it is possible to avoid suturing

If we leave it like this

As you grow, so do the scars.

You said it could grow.

Instead, if you suture the wound area

He said it would remain round like a dot.

It's been 8 years since the suture procedure.

This is what the wound area looks like now.

More than I thought

Because the wound area doesn't get smaller

I want to get laser treatment during this winter vacation.

I had a good time visiting the dermatology clinic at Yonsei University in Nonhyeon, Incheon.

 

Why did you choose the hospital?

Because it's a hospital my child has been going to since infancy.

I thought I would be able to receive treatment with a relatively comfortable mind.

Actually, the distance has gotten a bit far since I moved.

There are many dermatologists in the vicinity who specialize in cosmetic procedures.

I went to a dermatologist for a consultation and got treatment.

There is a reason why I hesitated before going to the skin.

First of all, the child was in the growth stage.

Unless it ends in one go

I also wondered if the child could endure this.

When it was our turn

I went into the clinic and this is what I was consulted about.

 

First, after the suturing procedure, the scar laser treatment

They said it should be done right away after suturing.

A scar that has been around for so long

He said that we might not see much of an effect.

 

And in the case of suture scars,

It was my first time getting treatment at a dermatologist.

He said it would be better to go to a plastic surgeon.

There is also laser treatment

I heard there is also scar removal surgery.

When I look at the scar area now

The area is not large, so surgical treatment is

You said you don't recommend it.

 

This is what I have been advised on.

As a result of talking with the child

I decided not to get treatment this winter break.

When I looked in the mirror later

If you don't like it or it keeps bothering you

He said he would figure it out thenㅜㅜ

 

From the perspective of a mother, at a plastic surgery clinic

Inquiry about scar removal surgery immediately after suturing

I feel bad about not doing it.

It's just that it remains as small as a dot

I guess I trusted you too much.ㅜㅜ

 

What was good about receiving counseling?

The explanation was easy for the patient to understand,

Also, you can choose the timing and method of treatment.

I liked the part where you gave me accurate information.

 

Although I didn't get the positive answer I wanted,

I think it helped me a lot when I was receiving treatment afterwards.
