ditto on the " Them " . between the rny, adhesions twice, etc. etc. I've had

the same incision used at least 5 times. after last years surgery my scar

opened after the staples were removed and healed very Wide plus a small

section of it keloided.

Insurance covered a scar revision this year. it is considered 'surface' work

but still extensive. the entire length of my scar from breast bone to pubic

was cut out and stitched shut this time. all the other times it was staples.

the thing I find odd with this being stitched is that its bumpy and lumpy

underneither until the stitches finish dissolving. I just had this done less

than a month ago and I was told 3mo. for the stitches to dissolve. we'll

see.

as for 'tightness', I have had my massage therapist work on the scar in the

past and it makes a tremendous difference in the flexibility and such of the

scar area. many times its too tight for me to lay flat on my stomach but

after she would massage the scar and break down surface adhesions underneath

it would be so much better.
