Question 2.
My name is christine im 21 yrs old n I have a keloid scare on my right earlobe. It's front and back of my ear. It was caused by my ear getting pierced when I was a child. Im really embarrassed about it I don't even wear my hair up. In 2008 I had surgery to remove it, I was imformed that it will grow back but I thought because it took a while to get to it's size it would take the same time but I was wrong. It grow back faster and I think a little bit bigger then last time. I want to know what would be the best treatment out there to get rid of it.

Question 3.
Hi, I am doing some enquiring about how to get rid of my scars. I have a few scars from having surgery but one big scar from half way from my stomach to top of my pelvis. and also  a raised bit on side of my belly button which I think is a little hernia. I just want to know if plastic or cosmetic surgery can get rid of these. I am very self conscious in summer when i would like to wear bikinis with no top. But I hate the look of my stomach. I just want it smooth out. How much would it cost as well?

Question 4.
Dear Vic Cosmetic Institute, I am contemplating getting several sessions of the Medlite laser treatment to help reduce the acne scarring that i have on my cheeks. The scars are pretty old (approx 10 yrs). I am prone to keloid scarring, and have keloid scars on both jaw lines as a result of severe chicken pox in my early 20s. I do get corticosteroid injections for the keloid scars probably once every 3-6 months to maintain them. Any suggestions and recommendations on the best treatments available on how to: 1) reduce the acne scarring 2) help maintain the keloids would be much appreciated. thank you.
