Had Gallbladder Removed, Got Scar. How To Get Rid Off It?
I had gallbladder taken out at 22. thay cut me from my belly button to the mid of my chest. said it was an exployratory. The scare is terrible. At times I feel like maybe the tissue under the insetion is to large and for a long time no matter what I eat seems to go through me in a matter of min. Just about everything I eat. I don t lose weight due to this. Im now 47 and this has been this way most of my life. Whats going on?
Namaste Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Everything seems perfectly fine, if the scar is flat and not raised then there is no reason of worry. Scar is rationale acceptable sequelae of any surgery. It's equivalent to length of incision taken. There is no way you can get rid of it. Any scar revision will also give you a new scar. The pigmentation of scar or other features can be altered by applying certain medicated creams, but one cannot rid of it completely.
Take care Regards
