Preventing Re-tethering After a Scar Revision?

July 3, 2018
Asked By:milaveev in Texas, TX

Hi everyone, I am scheduled for a scar revision/excision soon for a tethered abdominal surgical scar. Do these types of scars typically re-tether to the underlying tissues? If so, what can be done to prevent this? I am worried once I return to the office a few days after surgery my posture at the computer will effect the healing process.
