Will the treated skin look exactly like the rest of my skin?
The goal is to create a close colour match, though perfect blending isn’t always guaranteed. Over time, pigment tends to even out further—especially with good sun protection and follow-up care.
How long does it take to see results after the surgery?
Pigment restoration is gradual. Most patients start seeing noticeable improvements in 6 to 12 weeks, with continued results over several months, depending on the surgical method and aftercare.
Is vitiligo surgery safe?
Yes. Vitiligo surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified dermatologist on stable patches. The procedures are minimally invasive and done under local anaesthesia, with minimal downtime and a low risk of complications.
What should I do after the surgery to ensure proper healing?
Follow your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions carefully. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight footwear, and change dressings as advised. Prompt follow-up visits can help monitor healing and prevent infection.
Will my nail grow back normally after surgery?
It depends on the type of surgery. If only part of the nail is removed, it usually regrows normally. In cases where the nail matrix is treated to prevent regrowth (for recurring issues), that portion may not grow back.
How long does it take to heal after nail surgery?
Initial healing usually takes 7 to 10 days, though full regrowth of the nail (if removed) may take a few months. You can typically return to most daily activities within a day or two, with proper dressing and hygiene.
Is nail surgery painful?
Not at all. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Some mild discomfort may occur after the numbness wears off, but it’s manageable with simple aftercare.
Can I combine fillers with other treatments like Botox or laser?
Yes, combining treatments can enhance results. For instance, Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore lost volume. Your dermatologist will help create a personalized plan that suits your goals.
Is there any downtime after getting fillers?
There’s little to no downtime. You may notice mild swelling or bruising, which usually fades in a few days. Most people return to work or daily activities the same day.
How long do dermal filler results last?
It depends on the area treated and the type of filler used. Results usually last from 6 to 18 months. Regular touch-ups help maintain a consistent, natural look over time.
