Black eye as Birthmark
by Sammy5128, Jul 05, 2009 04:13PM
I need to know if there is a surgery or cosmetics of some sort that will restore my skin tone back to its original form. The birthmark itself started getting really noticeable about 2years ago and now I have dis-coloration around the right side of my cheek bone and lower eyebrow. It also looks as if I have a black eye below my right eye. Thank you doctor and god bless you

You need to see a plastic surgeon to discuss ways to deal with the birthmark. So much depends on your skin type and the type of birthmark, size, location, etc. We know that truly amazing things can be done with the new technologies, so I have lots of hope for you. I'm sorry but I can't be much more help - it's one of those situations where the surgeon just needs to see it in person. God Bless.
