It depends on your birthmark…what it is but I reckon that a laser surgery could help. There are so many things that can be done with lasers today and you don’t even have to stay in hospital. Many things depend on your birthmark especially the length of the surgery and the recovery. The risks with the laser surgery are small but unfortunately not all birthmarks can be removed. This is the case when the pigmentation is too deep and the laser cannot reach that deep.
The price may vary from surgeon to surgeon, and from state to state. When you decide to have it done, you should make an appointment with a surgeon you heard well of. Get all the information necessary about your specific case and see the prices. Some surgeons cut down the consultation fee from the treatment cost if you decide to have a surgery with them. If you find another surgeon who has better prices, you can always switch.
Estimated costs for birthmark removal can range from $400-500 but like I said it depends on the specific case, state and procedure chosen. |

I also have a red birthmark on my neck, right om the fromt thst is about 1 inch long and 1/2 inct tall. I've lived with stares, laughs, and looks of disgust as long as I can remember. People think it's a hicky, even though it's the wrong color. When I can to afford it, I will get it removed. As much emotional pain that it has caused me all my life, you'd think insurance would give me a break.. but no!
Good luck to you! |
