Do any other surgeons here prescribe or mention using cannabis cbds and thc for recovery in patients with ultra sensitive pain and or anxiety? Being a legal State I can't say enough about it. I'm eternally grateful to my husband and Doc and believe I wouldn't be doing as well without the medical cannabis. In fact I know so. I can now sleep eat just fine, use the restroom just fine, have no anxiety and easily got off narcotics. I wonder is any surgeons here prescribe it too?

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. This type of skin pleating along the incision is common post Tummy Tuck. Over time, as inflammation resolves and the scar matures this should soften, stretch and smooth out. You will likely need to be patient for a few more months as this transforms. ...
