I'm 28 years old and I have been having this problem since I was 14 years old. I'm getting tired of it. My Dr. told me that it's a 15 minute procedure. It's basically the same as the Marzupilation (spelling?) however, it is much deeper incision. I did hear that it has a bad rep for a lot of bleeding. I would love to know the percentage. If I do have it done, I'll let you know the outcome.

Take care
