[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get a second opinion from another surgeon. Not because a scar is a terrible thing but because the way you're describing it, he's not making any efforts to mitigate the results. My sibling had surgery on his shoulder and the scar looks horrendous 25 years later. It's a place where the skin doesn't heal well. He had other surgery nearby, done by a plastic surgeon, and it's beautiful and you'd hardly tell there's a scar. [/quote] There's huge variability in results, is what I mean, and it sounds like he's not invested in making the incision look good at all, or that's something he's not good at. I would try other surgeons and see what they say. Your daughter may feel better if she knows that her health care provider is taking her concerns seriously.[/quote]
