I had a full tt and bl with implants 10 weeks ago, i have had some break down on my scarring and now i am concerned how the end results of scarring will look will they be very thick now due to the incisions breaking down? Or will they eventually get thinner? They have now scabbed over and some of the scabs have now come off and the incisions are closed. i have seen my surgeon about how the scars will heal he assures me they wont heal badly but i just wanted to see what your thoughts where Thanks
