A member asked:
I was born with a massive dark birthmark on my neck. laser removal didn't remove it. can i do plastic surgery to get rid of it

Yes, possible.: It depends on the size. But yes, generally, plastic surgery can remove it. Either the skin in the neck is expanded to allow for proper closure after removal of the skin, or skin grafting is done.

Pick your defect: Laser removal is often the best approach to some of these marks that allows a normal appearance to the overlying skin.Repeated treatments may be necessary to get the best outcome. Depending on the size of the defect, surgery could also remove the area, but would always leave a scar in the area. Arrange a consultation & consider your options.
