Surgical excision
Surgical removal was a viable and popular method to remove tattoos before the new breed of lasers was released.
While the treatment is extremely invasive, it is effective. A medical surgeon completely cuts away the tattooed skin and stitches up the resulting wound. At one stage surgical removal was the only guaranteed way of achieving a successful removal.
This technique is not suitable for large tattoos. While we have heard of examples where large tattoos have been removed using this method, we don’t recommend it. In one case a patient was subjected to several surgeries because the tattoo was so large the surgeon had no option but to break the removal process up into sections. In this case, the surgeon excised a section of the tattoo and then stitched up the wound. He allowed time for the wound to heal and the skin to stretch, before performing the process all over again. The surgeon repeated this procedure until the tattoo was completely removed. As you can imagine, the process left large, angry scar on the patient.
The effectiveness of surgical removal depends on the size and location of the tattoo. For example, tattoos removed from an area of the body with stretched skin, for example, the scalp, may not be as suitable for the procedure, or enjoy the same results, as other regions of the body, such as the forearm.
Professional tattoo removalists do not recommend this method. The technique is incredibly invasive and requires the patient to have surgery under a general anaesthetic.
Scarring is almost certain to occur; however, the level of scarring will often depend on the location of the removal, the size of the tattoo, and the skill of the surgeon’s hand with stitching.
