Surgical tattoo removal

What can we achieve?

Eliminate unwanted tattoos

Procedures:

• Surgical excision and direct closure
• Excision and closure with local flaps
• Skin grafting
• Tissue expansion
• Serial resection

Pain: Minimal to moderate

Scars:

Depend on the size and location of the tattoo and the required procedure

Scar characteristics will be discussed with the patient according to each individual case.

Recovery:

Local wound care and medication

More complex cases could need in-patient care for some days.

In case you require tissue expansion or serial resection, more than one procedure will be needed to completely eliminate the tattoo

Recovery can be expected in 2-4 weeks
