Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Were you using steri-strips initially? Some ps tips that the longer one keeps steri-strips on the incision (upto 6 weeks post op), the less likely it will spread. With very few exceptions, I am inclined to think the patient's way of healing shouldn't have anything to do with the scar spreading. I think the care the ps takes with the type of stitching applied plays a decisive part. > > > : > > > Dr's Feng and Huang do explants all the time with thin scars.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Yes I had the steri strips but maybe not long enough, I am very sensitive to the adhesive and broke out in a nasty rash . Anyhow I am lucky that my incisins look as good as they do. I cannot tolerate the tape they use at all or the steri strips for long. hugs c ----- Original Message ----- From: " yssg888 " <yssg888@...> < > Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 9:58 AM Subject: Re spreaded scar--To Heer > Were you using steri-strips initially?
