SCARS

Had my dressings and stitches removed today (one week post op) they seem very bumpy, not happy!Is this normal?!

One of mine was a bit puckered up at first but now it’s flat x

Mine are a bit bumpy & I have quite a big lump on left side, but the nurse assured me this would disappear in time. Ny doctor told me to rub e45 cream onto it to break down the scar tissue Xx

Katejo I’ve heard the same thing that massaging it can break down the sca tissue. Haven’t yet booked surgery but I thought that you got dissolvable stitches? Was this not the case ells70? Borrkkkkk… I can’t be doing with having stitches taken out x

Mine got better as the weeks went by,they felt like a little bit of rope at first but they flattened out in a couple of weeks,don’t worry girls they do improve.xxx

i didn’t have dissolvable stitches, mine were taken out by the nurse at aftercare clinic.

i feel, really down at the mom as was told Mr C was the best surgeon to have for minimal scarring!

Try not to worry, they will probably look completely different in a few weeks. At 6 weeks you can use dermatrix scar sheets which are supposed to be really good for reducing scars x

Thanks belle, but feel really gutted at the mom! is it normal for the scars to be bumpy or is down to maybe over doing things during recovery? xx

I think it’s quite normal as most people tend to have bumpy scars to begin with x

Thanks, that’s reassuring i suppose i just have to be patient.x
