Hi Lisa
Sorry to hear of your experience. I can totally empathize, as the exact same thing happened to me . Having 2 major surgeries like that in a row is epic - I was in hospital for weeks and have never felt so much pain . Unfortunately it does take months for the skin (and muscles) to heal. Keep the scars taped up and use loads of bio oil - my plastics said this will help minimize scarring.
What did the surgeons tell you? Mine were quiet at first but I have received some answers since from 1 of the surgeons. Socoda is right about the skin not having enough blood supply. My skin died where the tumour was.
I'm still taped up and going through surgical procedures. It can be painful and hard to psychologically deal with. BUT it does get better with time and plastics are able to do some truly amazing things. Mine are looking better every time they work on it and they honestly look LOADS better than even a month ago. I'm also seeing an oesteopath and psychologist to help with stress and mobility.
be great to hear how you are going and what the surgeons told you.
