Have you had any other Abdominal Surgeries ?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess abdominal skin and tissue and the tightening of the abdominal wall. From a scar therapy perspective, this surgery results in a significant surgical scar that can affect tissue mobility, sensation, and overall function. Post-operative scar massage, when appropriate, can support healing by improving tissue pliability, reducing restriction and discomfort, and promoting healthier scar formation over time.

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, carried out through an abdominal incision either horizontally or vertically, laparoscopic techniques, or vaginally. From a scar therapy standpoint, this surgery can lead to internal and external scarring that may influence tissue flexibility, sensation, and pelvic function. When introduced at the appropriate stage of recovery, scar massage can assist in softening the tissue, easing restriction, and supporting comfortable, effective healing.

Abdominal hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct a weakness in the abdominal wall, often involving sutures or mesh placement. From a scar therapy perspective, this surgery can result in scar tissue that affects abdominal wall mobility, tension, and comfort. When applied at the appropriate stage of recovery, scar massage can help improve tissue flexibility, reduce adhesions and tightness, and support optimal healing and functional movement.

Breast augmentation and mammoplasty are surgical procedures that alter the size, shape, or position of the breasts, typically involving implants and/or tissue reshaping. From a scar therapy perspective, these surgeries result in surgical scars that can affect skin elasticity, tissue mobility, posture, and comfort. Effective scar management is important to support optimal healing, reduce tightness and sensitivity, improve tissue quality, and help restore comfortable, functional movement of the chest and upper body.
