I had a thigh lift on September 25, 2018 and am wondering if it's possible to still do damage to the scars. My surgeon gave the all clear at 6 wks post op, but when I sit on the bike and lean I feel discomfort on the upper L thigh, where the most skin was removed. I am wearing paper tape and Spanx for a full yr before switching to scar tape, which would indicates the scars can still be affected? Should I be concerned about the discomfort or is it more likely just sensitive/damaged nerves?
