Silicone scar tape helped me a lot. I've applied it since I was able to and I've had women tell me my scar looks good because it's not lumpy/bumpy! If I stop using it for a couple weeks, I notice my scar will get lumpy/bumpy. If I start using my scar gel and tape again, it flattens back out. It's been 10 months. I have mostly flat scar with hyperpigmentation but I'm sure it'll slowly fade away. I plan on getting tattoos around it.

Just had a myomectomy in November. Thankfully, one of my friends bought me silicone tape. I think this video should be shared with EVERYONE after surgery by the hospitals/providers. This was very informative!

Just wow! I had periapical surgery for a cyst a couple of weeks ago and am feeling this now and I did indeed PANIC until I googled it specifically to my surgery and then I came across your video after reading about it

I appreciate your video so much. I'm 6 weeks out from open bilateral inguinal hernia repair. I've seen 3 different doctors for my post op care. None of those doctors could tell me anything about how to care for my two incisions. It's amazing that I found your video. Now I feel more at ease with my lumpy incisions. And I just now started to massage the incisions. The surgical glue was on for nearly 4 weeks. So at 6 weeks, my incisions look good enough to massage them. I'm also using vitamin E oil at night, then Alcone (aloe and Lidocaine) gel during the day. So thankful for your awesome advice 👍

Excellent video Dr William! Very informative and interesting. Thank you very much! I had an open inguinal hernia surgery with mesh 4 months ago and I had a terrible recovery with a lot of pain and possible tendon damage. The extended surgery time coincided with a planned move to another state and it has been terrible for me. I had to move a 3 bedroom house from Fl to TX practically by myself. Driving for almost 18 hours and after that, cleaning, fixing up and remodeling the new house. I haven't stopped working and being on the go for almost 2 months. I had to go to a pain management clinic to get a cortisone shot 6 weeks after surgery. Currently I still have pain, tightness and sharp twinges in my groin area. But one thing I noticed 2 days ago, is that my scar still remains pink and dark in small areas. And it feels raised and bumpy by a length of about 3/4 of an inch. A little bump about 1/8 or 3/16 of an inch high. A little sore sometimes. I am still in the process of getting new insurance and adjusting to my new life in another state. I have only been here for 15 days and the truth is that this little bump on my scar has me a little nervous.

You give such SPECIFIC and EXCELLENT content! Thank you

Dr. William… I wish I had found you before my tummy tuck 2 weeks ago. Umbilicus looks like I have hemorrhoids in it. The nurse said don’t worry you will start marble therapy. I saw your video and you DO NOT DO THAT. Will this bulging go down on its own or that’s what I am stuck with? Also your education on cosmetic surgery is fantastic! Thank you! ❤

[ArshadMehmood-jzqj]

Great Thanks.. Very well explained...Dr. Willam i love your wisdom....😍

[BaUti]

Dr. William what if you still have loose skin 6 months post op after a tummy tuck!?

[DivyaSocro]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm 2 weeks post op from a Robotic myomectomy and was so sad to see my lumpy scars and this answered why.

When can we start massage and is there any specific techniques to massage?

[saturn]

What about a noticable pucker along the incision that is always causing a tiny pocket?

[susanareyes]

Hi Dr William I had Lipo and tummy tuck, how long before I can start working out again?

[fireflymelody]

I have scar cream, I just assumed that putting the tape over the scar cream would take away any benefits. If I do use both, how long should wait to put tape on over the scar cream? Do you have any recommendations for what type of tape to use? Also does any any effects of the scar tape dissapear if I reuse the tape?

[juniorwife]

Hi Dr. William, thank you for the time you take to put out such helpful info. Your love for your craft is evident. ❤
How many wks after tummy tuck Sx should you start massage and scar tape application?

[robertbornstein]

I had open inguinal hernia surgery on my right side about six weeks ago. I still have like an "L" shape firm lump along the length of the incision - basing out (forming the L) at the lowest point. Is this still considered normal and part of the healing ridge? How long typically does this lump remain until it flatens out - consistent with the opposite side? I wish physicians would articulate what you just said in the video to ease concerns.

Please reply doctor. I Went through a excision surgery in my thumb for fibromyxoma . Its been a month, now That incision area is hard and raised. Surgeon said it appears like hypertrophic scar and need to do an injection in the scar after a week... This full week he asked me to massage. Is it necessary to have an injection?

Hi Dr William, I had a diep flap breast reconstruction surgery almost 1 month ago, but 2 days ago, I noticed a bumpy lump that goes around from my left hip into my mid mons pubis. My surgical wound is long from hip to hip. It is not painful, but it made me curious that on the right, there were no changes, only on the left side of the surgical site. Could it be possible that it only develops on the left and not on the right side? Your response is highly appreciated.
