Do scars create any limitations for someone who underwent a body lift?

February 24, 2017
Asked By:athleanx in Chicago, IL

If scars only have 80% of the tensile strength of normal skin does that create any limitations for someone who underwent a lower body lift? Will I be able to play soccer when I'm fully healed, and slide tackle someone without worrying about tearing in half? How does reduced tensile strength manifest (cut more easily etc)? Thank you.
