Hi,
im new here and have my procedure next week. Really starting to worry as the procedure is on my forehead and worried that the dye will actually last for a long time.
if anyone has any information I would be greatful
Hi Bees and a very warm welcome to our corner of the online community.
I had a WLE and SLNB but not in the same place as yours. My WLE was on my arm so the SLNB was from my armpit.
When you say you are worried that the dye will "last for a long time", do you mean that you think the area that it's injected will be discoloured? If so, I had no visible signs of the dye it just turned my wee blue for about 24 hours.
Hope everything goes well next week.
Anne
Hi,
