Is there a plastic sugery that can remove red birthmarks other than laser sugery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the mark: I can remove the birth mark but will leave a scar from the surgery. Depending on the age of you child and the type of birth mark, most will fade with age. If the birth mark is a hemangioma, it will enlarge until about 1 year old, then begin to regress. However, Propranolol is being used with some success for this to decrease the size and severity of the hemagioma.
