Massaging Post OP

[Chodel]

if you don't bother to massage post op will the scar tissue just remain longer?  or does it mean the scar tissue won't go at all?

thanks

I would say .. if in doubt about massage ... ask your surgeon.  Mr Levick told me to start massaging after my 1 month post op check up.  In my case it was worthwhile although it took some time to have effect and I did overdo it for a while and made things worse.
