Scar Tissue After Surgery

Cassandra Said:

Is it too late to get rid of scar tissue after toe surgery a month ago? What would be the ill effects?

We Answered:

listen to your doctor and not anyone of us on here, he knows best

Eddie Said:

Any who has a rib tattoo, and has scar tissue sessions after surgery?

We Answered:

SURGERY of any kind is way worse pain! I am 50% covered in tattoos. I was badly injured in 2 separate car crashes, 1 as a kid and 1 as an adult. I had to have surgery a few times. After all that, a tattoo to the ribs is nothing! It hurts but really, it could be worse. It's just on the surface and nobody is slicing into your flesh. I like being tattooed, now it's almost a soothing feeling. Don't let the pain scare you. If you really want a tattoo it's 100% worth it. It's also a GREAT way to celebrate after your surgery! Best of luck with your ink!

How does it feel to have scar tissue after surgery?

We Answered:

Danielle Said:

Ankle scar tissue months after surgery?

We Answered:

Yea the tightness that you are feeling is more than likey due to scar tissue. What probally happened was when you landed funny you tore the scar tissue that was in there and when it healed up it healed up thicker than it was before.
they can go in with a scope and clean up the excess scarring

Donna Said:

Excess internal scar tissue after surgery?

We Answered:

They are called adhesions. Some people just make a lot of them; I don't think there is a specific name for it.

You can also get them from infections in the abdomen. Sometimes, they can strangulate the bowel, causing bowel obstruction or ischemia/necrosis, and then you have to have more surgery to fix that.

There isn't much you can do, except avoid abdominal surgeries.
