Scar Tissue

Hi There- Scar tissue should not "keep growing." It usually shrinks with time or stays the same. An ultrasound of the mammographic density and biopsy of any suspicious ultrasound finding or an MRI if ultrasound is not helpful, would be two options to reassure the patient.

Hi Rose,

Have you tried massage or reikki (sp)? Both of them helped me to much. I had two flap reconstructions on the same breast, one from the back and two years later from the stomach. I saw a massage therapist twice a month for almost a year after each surgery and right after the surgery I had the reikki and after I could lay on the table I added the massage. I found a massage therapist experienced with scar tissue and breast cancer and he was a life saver. If I could afford it I would do it every week!

I know it takes my body a long time to get my scars to lay down fade on the skin and it took a long time to feel "normal" after the TRAM but now, three years later, most days I don't even think about it.

Warm regards,
Nancy Hi Rose,

Scar tissue is dense fibrous connective tissue that forms over and/or around a healed wound or cut. Scar tissue is the body's way of repairing and protecting damaged tissues.
