Can you make a video about hernias? My surgery was postponed even after I got the ultrasound. Just so future patients can know. Can’t wait to see you in 3 months! 🥰

You are very honest doctor. Thank you.

Dr. Williams, you did my tummy tuck and 360 lipo on February 2nd 2022. First I must say that I have no complaints, and I am healing tremendously. My scar is very thin, thank you. I am well pleased. You did a wonderful job. Do I have to wait 6 months for a breast reduction?

Great Great Guidance. Thanks A lot Dr. William. I was very worry about the the scars on hand of my daughter after release of Syndactyly

I'm two months post op for a breast lift and my scars are barely noticeable! Here's some things I did some on purpose some accidentally cause I'm scary like that🤣
I didn't take off the incision tape or wet the breast area for a week just washed face and used rag for arms/under arms and a bird bath down there (you'll need a little baby bath bucket)
When I finally took a full bath and wet the strips, I would slowly cut off the tape that was getting loose with little fingernail/eyebrow scissors until my 2 weeks appointment doc told me to keep doing that so I would put scar away on the areas that had no tape till about 2 1/2 weeks where I SLOWLY peeled it off

I then used silicon tape because all incisions were closed. You can size it to your incisions everyone's scars will be a different size. I tried taking them off between showers to clean then but they fold and it's sooo difficult to unfold so I just avoid the breast are in the shower as much as possible with my back turned to shower for the back part of me lol then a rag for armpits and arms you can face forward to wash face and private without wetting them. With this method you can keep the tape on for at least three days which is less irritating to the scars then to pull the tape on and off.

I also use some holistic oils at least two days a week to let them breath i really beleive the tape helped my scars from being less irritated from cloths and possibly lifting the scars along with wearing a compression bra everyday. I'm tan and I don't have a dark line at all unlike my c section which I didn't care for as well as I am with my breast.

I hope this helps someone out there!! Be patient on your journey

Please can you do a video on how to tighten the skin after a kilo ?

[AhmadBadshah-sw]

Very helpful video, dear doctor. For how long do we need to massage the scar with Silicon Gel? I'm 27 and got a cut on my forehead. As far as I observe, it is healing well but whenever I lift my hair and see it closely in light, I notice a minor dent, will it be filled overtime? Like after 3 to 4 years? I apply silicone gel 3 times a day.

[irinalira]

Dear Dr. William, so you recommend to wait 3 weeks to apply arnica and natural balms to help the scar? or rightaway after the procedure? Thanks !

[JoelPallan-ie]

Hi Sir how long keloids keeps aching??

[brookeandrus]

What if you only keloid after surgical procedures? What you not recommend Lipo and BBL if you normally keloid after surgical procedures? Or would the massages help them go away as well?

[starrwilliams]

WHAT SHOULD WE MASSAGE THE SCARS WITH??? 🤔 #thankYOUdrWILLIAMS

[daniele]

hello doctor, my girlfriend lost a lot of weight and she is actually scared about surgery but also has a lot of excess skin which, even if i dont have the heart to tell her, she won’t probably ever loose without surgery, the thing that scares her is having scars that are visually ugly, her legs tummy and arms are the areas where she has the most excess skin, according to your opinion as a professional would the scars be that visible? and if so how long would they be and how much would the take to become less evident?

[AkaSann-zu]
