Scar tissue 4yrs post Op with pain
Has anyone been diagnosed with Scar Tissue from a Lumpectomy? I have.. 4 years Post Op but my surgeon wants to operate to remove it.. I am doubting if this is necessary?
Scar tissue is problematic. It can disguise more sinister developments as well as being physically painful. Removing it seems counterintuitive if the same issue is going to recur. I had some success with low level laser therapy a few years ago, but the results have not been fantastic.
If your surgeon wants it gone I'd listen to them, but get a full rundown on the risks, benefits and rationale for your own peace of mind.
