What is involved to correct a tethered scar and what is the recovery time? (photos)
mumof4under4Sep 27, 2016
Part of my incision on my tummy is tethered. It is painful as it is constantly pulling and it wakes me up every night when I roll onto it. I can't wear a swimsuit or anything similar as the weird 'blob' created above where it is stuck is obvious. I tried massage but it hasn't helped. I understand the only way to fix it is surgery and am wondering what is involved and whether there is any 'down time' from recovery or whether I can run the next day and be normal?
