I had Cushing’s syndrome about 6 months ago and I developed straie on my lower stomach and a little has traveled over my belly button. The only solution I found to get rid of it was a tummy tuck and wondering if wider thinner straie will affect the healing process and possibly cause necrosis? I also I have a little bit traveled to my Nikon line where the incision will be made and I’m worried that it will interfere with the stitches. The straie is thin I could pinch it basically.
