Hi, I had my breast reduction recently in France but will move back to USA soon. (Not medical tourism, I am dual citizen). My surgeon said he will prescribe me session with a therapist for massage on the scar / gpl scar treatment. But I will be in the US by then. Is that something common to do after thisprorcedure in USA ? Does it really helps the scars to fade away? If so, what specialist should I see? Thank you
