Plastic surgery costs for a cutter?!


Question: Plastic surgery costs for a cutter!?
My sister cut all of her arms and upper thighs for about 6 months!. She has now stopped and my parents are considering getting her plastic surgery!. The main thing my parents are concerned about are just her forearms because they are so scarred that she has to wear long sleeves all the time!. How much would plastic surgery cost to cover those scars!? How dangerous is the procedure and is it even possible!? I live in the northeast of the US and my sister and I are teenagers in case you need to know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
first, i'd like to say that i'm really proud of your sister for stopping cutting!. i used to have a cutting problem, and i created a website to help cutters with problems and getting better!. so right on for her!.!. and the person that said she should just wear long sleeves is just ignorant, so ignore that!.

as for the medical part, they would probably use skin grafts to cover the scars!. on wikipedia!.com, it says that the risks are:

* Bleeding
* Infection
* Loss of grafted skin

Rejection may occur in xenografts!. To prevent this, the patient usually must be treated with long-term immunosuppressant drugs!.

as far as costs go, some people go to places like india to get skin grafts for as low as $690!. but if you're looking closer to home, you would probably want to shop around!. some surgeons price it per case, some have set prices, but it would be best to look around for different surgeons before making a decision!.

i hope that your sister gets the help she needs, and keep me posted if you will -- i would love to know how it turns out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have her wear longs sleeves!. I wouldn't pay for any plastic surgery when the scars are self-inflicted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
