3 months major scar tissue problem

[Scartissueissue]

Hi,
I could rant for pages but I'll try to keep it short.
I had a very minor case of gyno but it drove me nuts.  I did the surgery with a very reputable plastic surgeon in Toronto on Jan 9th.
For 3 to 4 weeks after my chest looked like a dream when removing the vest.  After 4 weeks scar tissue rapidly developed and it looks horrible.  It is at least 4 times worse and larger than the glandular tissue that was removed.  I am now 12 weeks and it looks worse every day.  I massage constantly.
Firstly, it is not remaining breast tissue.  I had very little to begin with and this is much worse than I ever have.  Shows up through shirts far worse...this is what I was trying to FIX!
2 weeks ago I saw my doctor.  He was visibly uncomfortable with how much scar tissue was there.  But he DOES NOT believe in kenalog injections.  This bothers me.  He says it does more harm than good but I have read nothing but great stories from Elliot Jacobs.

He would rather wait a year for a scar tissue removal surgery which I do not want.  I need fast results.  I want my life back.  Please...let me know my options.  Are there any other surgeons within Toronto/Ontario who will do kenalog injections on someone elses's patient?

I'm dealing with the same problem, but not as bad as what you described. My father is a doctor and has told me that kenalog injections can harm you, but it is very rare, and worse case scenario, it will not affect the scar tissue.

I would recommend seeing another specialist for a second opinion, always good to see two peoples point of view on an issue. I feel your pain, it's very embarrassing to deal with and the majority of the population does not understand the problem. I wish best of luck to you my friend

I'm starting to think you're right Geoff...

Please post your experiences, after applying quite firm bandages again to your surgery sites.
