Scar Revision?
I just scheduled for the 6th with my PS to have my upper tummy scar revised. Its 5 inches long and almost 1/2 inch at its widest point. The lower scar is really thin and fine, they just don't match at all! Its only costing $250.
Anyone had any experience with revision of scars - what can I expect? Its done local and in his office. Just curious - I think it will be minor - return to work next day but wondering....

Hi, I had revisions done on my anchor cut, extended tummy tuck last month. It sounds like yours might be a little different than mine, but I had a dog ear(a bump) at the top of my anchor cut, and another small one on the right side of my upper tummy scar. The dr. just gave me a couple of small injections to deaden the area, then removed the bumps, and stitched it all up. The side didn't really hurt at all, but the one just below the breasts hurt something fierce! Dr. had not given me enough lidocaine or whatever they use, and I could feel it when she started to revise the scar. So she had to give me a couple more injections. The scars look much better now and only the breast one gave me any pain at all. They healed up great.
Good luck with your revisions! I'm sure they will be fine.
