scar revision

[Guest guest]

all this talk about thigh lifts and mons work, I am wondering if anyone has

had scar revision and mostly, can it be done under a local in the office?

i guess it would depend on how extensive it needs to be.....

when i had my 6th and 7th surgeries in april and may, well thats when i got

the oral thrush and major yeast problems from massive antibiotics and the

mycelex they prescribed caused horrific dry heaves. i had just had the

staples removed and was nearly fully healed when i spent hours over the bowl

heaving till my incision was wide open. it probably should have been

professionally closed, stitched shut or something but wasn't. so its a wide

flat scar now. sometimes i think it will fad better because of the way it

looks but then above it and below it are the old scars from the TT which are

narrow and white.

Sue,

Depending on your insurance policy, scar revision from a medically

necessary procedure should be covered in an outpatient surgical

facility. When I formed the seromas after my abdomnioplasty, my

surgeon was going to do an in the office fix, then he said for the

heck of it let's see if insurance will cover it out patient as I

would really like to get this all tighter. They called the insurance

and were approved over the phone with an authorization number. They

have paid it all no problems and it was 2 hours of surgery under a

general. I do have great insurance BCBS of ALAbama PPO as

administrator for GE (yes, they do bring good things to life!)
