My friend Emilio Gonzalez of Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela sends in this just massive keloid removal he did. I’m quite certain that person is very happy they walked into his studio!
Anyway, I’m not really posting right now, I just wanted to quickly make sure that the main banner works (it will automatically change now on a daily basis). If you didn’t see, I also added a “most commented on” section for those that want to quickly jump to ModBlog‘s most debated entries. More tomorrow morning!

Shannon it’s the morning over here and I havent had Breakfast yet.
Dont think I will now.
That is one giant keloid and a great job done in removing it.
Do we know what caused it?

wow big un.

does the removal of such a keliod run the risk of forming another big keliod?

Considering the size of it, I wonder if some people would have assumed it to be some sort of tumor.

Thats intense. Looks so painful!!!!! I hope it heals better. Should post some pictures in a few months to show how it heals.

Holy crap, nice job by Emilio. Judging by the color of the keloid, I would assume there are blood vessels running through it, but I wasn’t able to find documentation of this. Does anybody know if keloids have a blood supply? If so, that would make their removal much more difficult – like those 200-pound tumors you see on TV. It looks like corticosteroid injection will help keep a duplicate keloid from forming…I hope she’s gotten that.

holy. crap. fuck. that is amazing. good luck to her with the healing process.

Wow, I’m not sure how you manage to get one to that point without having it looked at long before. The only thing I wonder about is if that was truly a keloid and wasn’t possibly also cancerous. If the latter was the case hopefully he got all of it and it doesn’t come back or hasn’t spread. I don’t know what health care in Venezuela is like, there may not have been the option of having a doctor remove it, but if anyone else here has a keloid like that and you have access to doctors care I’d go that route just to get it biopsied to make 100% certain it was a keloid and not somethign far more serious. Otherwise he did a beautiful job removing that, looks like if another doesn’t form that the ear will look perfectly normal after if heals.

First, it looks like it could just be a keloid to me.
Second, I’ve watched Emilio’s work for a while and he has surgical skills in excess of many of my collegues. This is yet another example of his incredible skill.

I like the daily banner idea. Is there any way to link to the picture used in the banner, so if something up there catches our eye, we can jump to the related entry?

Lucas – AGREED! I just saw the wolverine claws page and I can’t believe how many idiots have posted retarded comments…
Anyways… that’s a massive keloid! I wonder if her hair ever got caught around it..

i cann’t belive out of all of the posts on this blog that the wolverien claws attracted the most comments, and the biggest flame war i’ve seen on here, next to the hitler tattoo, but at least that had some level of civil debate to it. i guess it’s becuase it was linked from another site.

It’s very, very rare for comments from inside BME, IAM, and regular ModBlog readers to get nasty…. It’s almost exclusively casual visitors directed here.
In some ways it’s good to be reminded of it I think, because I know for me it’s very easy to become convinced that the whole world thinks “like us”, because we experience this community inside a fairly safe bubble most of the time.

the Wolverine post reminded me of the brass knuckles implant that got linked to from Fark. between the comments here and the ones on Fark’s own page, there had to have been over a thousand.

so, emilio, you cauderized the wound before you stitched it? ..and that’s supposed to prevent the keloid from reforming? it seems like that would do the exact opposite..
