Scar Tissue - anyway to prevent growth of new tissue, just had a bunch removed:

[Guest guest]

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.
