Keith Crowell\u2019s saga began 13 years ago, after cuts from a shave at the barber didn\u2019t heal correctly and resulted in massive keloids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Crowell, of Milwaukee, had sought to have the keloids removed but was ultimately denied by insurers, Fox 6 New reported. A GoFundMe page raised nearly $27,000 and helped get him to New York to see a specialist for the two-part procedure, which included removal and radiation. The first part was completed in May, and he returned to New York this month for the final steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">\u201cI feel a lot lighter,\u201d Crowell told the news outlet, after the second procedure. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of weight off my shoulders. I\u2019m energetic. I feel more of myself. I feel more alive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">While the scars from the procedure may take time to fade, doctors said there is a 96 percent chance that the keloids will not return, Fox 6 Now reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">\u201cMy burden is over with,\u201d Crowell, who works as a security guard at a casino and is now an advocate for others living with keloids, said. \u201cI can sleep at night. I can eat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt;color: #000000\">source: http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/2017\/07\/24\/man-gets-massive-keloids-removed-from-neck-in-life-changing-surgery.html<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/health\/medical\/man-gets-massive-keloids-removed-from-neck-in-life-changing-surgery.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man gets massive keloids removed from neck in life-changing surgery Man gets massive keloids removed from neck in life-changing surgery:- A 56-year-old man said he feels \u201cmore alive\u201d after strangers helped raise enough funds for a transformative surgery on his neck that removed nearly 40 pounds of extra flesh.
