Does any of U peeps know if:

cortisone injections are still effective in shrinking old scar tissue, eg scar tissue over 6 months old, over a year, etc??

And given enough time does scar tissue always go on its own??

(Seems like residual scar tissue is a harder probem to beat than gynecomastia itself...)

yews cortisone-probably triamcinilone not cortisone will be used and its still effective in decreasing -that is flattening scar tissue.even over 6 mo or 1 yr
some surgeons dont belive in its use and dont use it post op.some use it and place it in before stitching up.
but it will decrease over time anyways but can vary from 6 mo to 6 yrs.
