I had no problems recovering, took a little longer than normal but no real issues. And everything looks fine. It just pulls and I feel scar tissue pulling.

Answer: Tightness Sometimes the plication of the muscles causes issues for patients as they feel tightness when they stretch. Sometimes it is scar tissue under the flap. Usually in both cases this eventually improves.

Answer: Scar Tissue and Pulling Thank you for your question. This all should relax - it will just likely take additional time. It's hard to know if by pulling you mean actually along the incision, or if you had some muscle tightening at the time of the surgery. While you may still feel this, there is little that can be done to improve it - besides just waiting it out. A light massage may help, and sometimes a surgeon can inject a steroid to help - but usually this is for cases where the scar is very raised or red. If you have continued concerns, you may want to just check with your Plastic Surgeon - but chances are, with time, you will be just fine. Best of luck!
