As an Orthopedic surgeon I have recommended your video to patients. Very helpful and informative. Thanks for your contribution to helping the patients, us doctors and even for my brother's scar issue! Great job!
THANK YOU!!! I am passing this to My wife. She had a double mastectomy 3+ years ago and they told her no need for rehab! I can tell almost every evening she is in pain that seems to have increased over time, and needs to do something. I truly believe You are Our answers to a better quality of life. What a blessing from above!!!
Hi Ron 🙋🏾♀️ Sorry to hear about the after affects of your wife’s double mastectomy. I myself have gone through the procedure and also had lymph nodes removed. Although I wasn’t assigned a physical therapist after the initial mastectomy, my surgeon did assign therapy after performing my diep flap surgery. Having therapy was extremely critical and a necessary transition to rehabbing on my own. My therapist set me up for success and I was also very self motivated and started researching stuff on my own. Although I hate TH-cam censorship, I’m still thankful to have a platform like this that I’m able to educate myself. So far I’ve used the following to aid in my recovery: 1. Serapeptates - this was helpful, but research and proceed with caution as this can really lower blood pressure. I took a full bottle and stopped and am now about to start it again (I believe in cycling all supplements to varying degrees). 2. Self massage - I feel like the serapeptates helped to loosen some of my scar tissue which made it easier for self massage 3. Rebounding - Helps with lymph circulation (I LOVE IT). And a little goes a long way. Start with 5 minutes and work your way up. 4. Stretching 🙆♀️- Especially in the arm where they removed the lymph nodes. There are great stretches that can be found on TH-cam (look up stretches and lymph nodes). 5. Castor oil packs - I’m about to start doing this. There’s a tone of videos to educate yourself about this technique. Anyone who has had any type of surgery should do this. 6. Cupping - I haven’t tried this yet, but as you can see; I’m trying to learn more about it. I have an incision across my stomach from the diep flap procedure and have noticed a slight swelling from scar tissue development (I’m nipping this in the bud now). Best wishes to you and your wife. God bless 🙏🏾✝️
thank you so much! I had MOHS surgery on my face and have scar tissue that has messed up my face and smile. The doctor said to massage the scar tissue but I had no idea how to properly and most effectively do this. Your video is so meaningful to me.
@@shrutisingh5310 sorry, I don't check notifications often. Massaging my scar tissue might have done harm because my incision had a hard time healing properly - the left and right side didn't quite come together smoothly and now i have an indentation in my face. Removing my basal cell cancer which was too small to be seen was one of the worst decisions of my life.
I had this surgery also. Perhaps it's not too late to apply Mederma as well as silicone scar gel and especially silicone scar sheets to flatten out the area. Mine is slowly healing nicely. The scar sheets are amazing. I believe my dermatologist can also inject the area with cortisol to dissolve the extra collagen.
Just found you for simple lymphatic massages and wow you’ve already given me so many more tips than the hospital itself. As a Cancer survivor I worry about these scars and lymphedema, thank you for sharing ! Definitely following you on IG !!!!
Thank you ! I have had radical neck dissection, and have been very concerned about the scar tissue welding to the muscle tissues and causing contraction. I am nearly 4 weeks post surgery, and have been wondering if I will look like this for the rest of my life, but you have given me some hope.
So glad I found your video as I’m 8 months post lumpectomy and my scar is definitely bothering me; I had instinctively been massaging it lightly but not one of the medical professionals I was seeing ever mentioned massaging the scar, and only one mentioned stretching exercises, which I’ve been doing. My scar has tissue underneath that runs slightly perpendicular to the scar line and has become thick and at times tender. And the scar is very close to the aerola/nipple making it a little more challenging to do the rolling motion. Hoping that after learning the techniques from your video and purchasing a cup, that I’ll start to feel relief.
i used this technique on my right knee scar and for the first time in four months post op.....i feel that i can be normal again and resume my job as a registered nurse.....thank you.....I wish I found this sooner.....
Wonderful! Thank you! I found that you doing the massage with my compression sleeve on makes me less squeamish about manipulating the scar. Easier to pinch for the middle and deeper layers.
Thank you so very much. I and 12 days post surgery and this was really helpful to me. I felt the range of motion improve after the first 5 minutes of the massage.
I have no scar tissue and everything is good. This worked for me and I did it as needed. That’s what worked for me. Try the exercise and see how it works for you. Everyone responds to treatment differently.
I had bilateral brachioplasty a month ago. My scars are flat, pale, and barely noticeable. My family and I are amazed. Thanks for your video. It helps a lot.
I really enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you for the step by step and clear instruction. I will be utilizing these techniques step by step along with my healthy lifestyle to see what can be accomplished with my scar. I obtained this scar more than five years ago in an emergency situation. I hope to be able to respond back with a good and helpful report in time. My first thought will be approx 8-10 weeks 😊
Thank you i had a double hip replacement 5 years ago and the scar has made the skin go in so I,m trying this as my doctor has already said massage it if it causes pain
I was taught by my physical therapists to massage and to cup my over 4 inch long keloids from surgical reduction of a complex ankle fracture (3 bones). The techniques only required a few minutes per day for me. I am now post injury 2 ½ years and my keloid is still improving, parts of it have disappeared completely, the overall length is shorter, the parts which remain raised are flatter, thinner, and more normal skin color. Progress is slow but it continues. Have patience, the techniques really work.
Thank you for this video. I had a masectomy 2 weeks ago and am already tight with a ridge of scar tissue. I'll wait 3 mos before trying these techniques but I'm grateful to have this video for later. ❤
Thank you for sharing your videos. I never thought of doing this other than doing yoga, afraid of touching the scar after having a mastectomy over 9 months ago. I will definitely try and do this everyday. This is very helpful. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your video. Im 6 months po from shoulder surgery. I have the most painful scar that I have been messaging for months but still very painful. You video is making me hopeful but the pain has me in tears. My hopes is that this helps.
I have scar tissue stiffness in my neck after 35 rounds of radiation for neck cancer it’s been a year it affects my ability to swallow and turn my neck or raise my head up🔥🙏🔥
This was PERFECT!! Thank you so very much for the quick info. I go to Physical Therapy weekly but I still look around and try to learn all I can about My Skin Grafts Healing Process and WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO WHILE HEALING. I'm not a fan of the Suckers , to be 100% Honest , they didn't do very well on my back. But the different ways you taught today were EXACTLY what I needed to know! Thanks Again & Keep Up The Good Work!!
Can i use this massage for thyroidectomy scar?? It's been 2 months since my surgery and i was just massaging my scar in a circular way as you have shown in the first step.
Thank you Kelly! I donated a portion of my liver to my father a few months ago through UPMC, and had some scar issue. This has been very helpful. Blessings!
i have multiple layered really old heart surgery scars and its become really deep and tight where it ends just above my belly button, im only just nOw starting to try some diff therapies at home. using infrared light therapy and a natural scar oil and massage like this, thank you for the ideas
Does cupping help on 3 year old scar tissue. I had a distal radius fracture and dislocated elbow. I want to know if cupping will break down scar tissue of 3 years ago??
Is it too late to start this 8 months after tummy tuck ? I never had instructions to massage to help scar tissue . My scar tissue feels real thick , please help
I have a fine line scar on my forehead from an injury, it's been revised, but it's still indented. Can cupping and massagingeven it out? Any other suggestions?
I have surgical scar adhesion right in the middle of my tummy tuck scar (its quite wide in that area too, i had a problem while healing) its 12 month since it knitted together & healed like this, will this help me please? & would a suction cup help release it? Thankyou ❤
Do these massages help with lymphatic drainage, for example does it stimulate the development of new lymphatic vessels at the wound site by breaking up scar tissue?
Morning I have surgery on March 25, 2022 and I have a lot of score tissue around my knee which is it’s not painful just got mobility is not there like what should I do
Thanx for your guidance on removing scar. My wound scar is hard painless. I tried petroleum jelly, which makes it dark. Why it is so hard after debridement on foot palm . I am afraid its removal may not damage wound recover underneath scar. Your expert advice please.

If she had reconstruction with implants, they could be causing pain and illness. It’s called Breast Implant syndrome. Many people remove them ❤️
