Having a tattoo is considered to be a style statement and an expression of one’s personality. However, it must be realized that such impromptu decisions taken by getting swayed by emotion can have long-term repercussions. While some people fail to commit to the purpose they originally got inked for, others want to get rid of the tattoo to fulfilling their bigger commitments.
Ask any plastic surgery doctor in Uttar Pradesh and they will talk of the number of people especially the youth coming to get their tattoo removal and they have an entire list of it. On the Indian perspective, if we are to know the primary reason to get a tattoo removed, there are primarily three reasons. The first is obviously the fact that many people want to remove/get rid of the memories of their old flames. Second, an ink-free body is major criteria for any applicant in the field of defense. Some government job’s profile and the aviation industry too demands no tattoo in any exposed part of the body.
Dermabrasion is one of the methods to remove the tattoo. In this method, the tattoo is removed by anesthetizing the skin surface and then scrapping off some of skin layer. However, we are now going to talk about the two other types of tattoo removal methods. They are:
- Excision and stitching- For a tattoo which is smaller in size, and done at an area where the skin is loose or sagging, this method is most suitable. It is also better for such conditions as the skin will close after the excision. Though it may leave a scar of the surgery, it is the quickest way to get rid of a tattoo in short period of time.
- Excision and skin grafting- In layman’s terms, this particular tattoo removal process is like removing a wider scar and converting it to a thinner scar. To get a better result following this tattoo removal surgery, you can also go for laser sessions
The procedure
The plastic surgery doctor in uttar pradesh would administer a local anesthesia and the area where the tattoo is inked will be numbed by using an anesthetic injection. The tattoo is removed by excision and the normal surrounding skin is closed. Stitching is removed from the area in about 7-8 days. In order to aid proper healing, the surgeon shall also recommend some scar gels and other methods to remove the scars. If the person undergoing this surgery is supposed to appear for a government job interview, they are good to go almost after 3 weeks from the surgery.
For the second procedure explained i.e. excision and skin grafting, it is a method that combines removal of tattoo and skin grafting surgery. It is the most favorable method as it can be executed in a very short span of time and eventually has better results when compared to excision and skin grafting.
With all that being said, it is equally important to maintain proper care post-surgery. That is why the plastic surgery doctor in uttar pradesh give specific advise with regard to the use of scar silicone gel, massaging, sun protection, lasers for resurfacing the skin grafting etc. Once followed as advised, these methods can give the result one may dream of.
The doctors at Popular Hospital’s burn and plastic surgery department fully believe that the tattoo removal procedure can also be an emotional journey for some. Hence, they not only provide all the medical and surgical but they also give you the compassion and the much needed confidence boost to set course for the future.
