Asked By:Good698696 in Dearing, Kansas, Estados Unidos

My surgeon's assitant told me that sometimes he performs revisions after 8-10 months depending on the conditions of the patient. I have thin skin and my surgeon said that after 6 months my inflammation process should be pretty much over. They also thought that my healing/scarring process has been fast. Is this true? And also, is it wise or is always better to wait 12 months?
