I don't think you really can. It is part of the body's healing process.On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 12:31 PM, yvette143usa <yvette143@...> wrote:

I had a 3rd ear surgery this month (one in 1998, one in 2000); and am very used to ear problems! I have had a gazillion infections, 2 tympanoplasties, mastoidectomies (last one modified, canal wall-down), 2 cholesteatomas removed (one was attached to facial nerve) - etc., etc., etc.

Here is my question - I just had A LOT of scar tissue removed (lazer); I  know over the past 13 years this scarring has caused me many problems (painful, debilitating headaches; loss of taste (back now!), tri-geminal nerve dysfunction; etc., etc.) - QUESTION, What causes this to grow? Is it preventable to some extent? Does massage, sneezing, coughing, make it worse?

How do you prevent it???

Thank you for reading.
