Plastic Surgery Q&A Episode 301 |Can we remove a cyst located in the thyroid and more...

Staiano Plastic Surgery

I will talk about:

-Is the inner thigh a good area for tattoo removal on a skinnier body type?

-Can we remove a cyst located in the thyroid?

-I have a lump on my back near my spine that is oval shaped and quite large now. I've read lipomas are easy moved and soft, this is firmer and feels anchored to something deeper below the skin. It does not seem to move very easy either. Several years ago, I was told by a doctor it is a harmless lipoma, however, I'm getting a bit concerned at this point. If it were cancerous would I feel pain, considering the closeness to the spine I wonder if it would be more painful.

-Can you remove knuckle tattoos?

-Can smaller tattoos on the lower leg be surgically removed?

-I think I caused a hypertrophic scar on my arm from a itchy bug bite. I’m a picker so I kept removing the scar for months. Now it’s raised, darker, and crusty. I keep filing it down, scrapping or clipping it shorter - but it comes back. What do you suggest ?

-I had Gynaecomastia surgery and clear colour sutures are still there, looks like they are inside of the skin. How will they disappear if they are tied?.....and anything else that crops up.
