I know every doctor and patient would prefer the perfect scar but only some get it. How can you "guarantee"( to the best of your ability) the "preferred" scar? Is there too much tension for the scar to heal nicely? Did patient stand straight too soon?

Answer: Scarring and healing In general, surgeons try to close incisions with little to no tension on the operating room table. We have knowledge on surgical techniques to use and postoperative care that can help us optimize patient's healing. However, when this is done, the body is not necessarily reflective of how will be 100% of the time during the healing process. This in combination with different clothing options AND Differences in healing tendencies of patients make scarring and healing difficult to predict.

Answer: Scarring after procedures Thank you for your question. Unfortunately no one can guarantee how a scar will heal. Ultimately its up to your body. Although we all give recommendations to follow regarding exercising, standing up straight, scar creams etc. I would recommend speaking with your Surgeon of choice and discussing your concerns. Best of luck to you.
