Q19. Will there be much scarring after tattoo removal surgery?

A19. Scarring is an issue although this depends upon the size of the tattoo. If you have a large tattoo then there may be a greater risk of scarring.

If you are prone to scarring or have a weakened immune system then this will be more of an issue for you. Your clinic will discuss this and other related issues with you beforehand so that you can make an informed decision about this procedure.
