I have a few keloids from getting moles removed.
I went to 2 consultations for Lasik and both doctors said it really was not a concern if they performed Lasik or Intralase. My question is should I chose one procedure over the other(Lasik vs. Intralase) knowing that I have a tendancy to form Keloids? I am thinking that a lower chance of scarring is not one of the benefits of Intralase over Lasik but I wanted to get your thoughts on this as well. I am also going to get Customvue done regardless of the procedure I choose.

Thanks!
