Common Questions and Answers about Funnel chest operation scars
operation
Take a look @ my profile under my photos .. I have some before and after and keep in mind mine was complicated with stitch abscesses and another smaller incision 1/4" on top which turned out benign and done only 6 weeks post-op.
you should use Mederma for scars, over time it will help lighten the color of the scar making it less noticeable , but it may always be raised.
It is not cancerous, it may or may not hide a cancer and I was not keen to have the operation. I resisted and asked to be followed up with monthly mammograms instead. They could not do this they said as no process. I argued for different treatment options. None were forthcoming.
The scar showed on the initial mammogram, on the mammogram at the recal but not on ultrasound. At my first hospital appointment with the breast surgeon the scar showed.
Could you tell me if these scars would remain visible after the operation?
How bad is tearing with the Jones tube in place? Would this change the structure of the face at all/leave permanent scars?

I would think having the dog would be good, as long as he's not rubbing his scars on the dog for some reason. ? lol I believe the "infections" we hear about people having after surgery, are normally initially infected during the surgery and the people don't have any side effects from it till a few days or weeks after.
Hi,
Hypertrophic scars are confined to the site of the injury and flatten out over time. The common location of theses scars are the chest, the back, shoulders, ear lobes, lower face and in general, any pressure or movement dependent areas of the body. Scars are made of connective tissue, which are fiber like and are deposited in the skin to keep the wound closed. They are thick and raised and often darker than the surrounding skin.
before they release her result for that Chest X-ray they told her that she have to have a repeat x-ray this time apicolordotic view was requested...then they told her that the result indicates that a scar was seen in her lungs...the x-ray was taken on August 9 for the CXR PA and the apicolordotic view was taken August 10,2011, she had another X-ray on Aug.
I just had my pre employment exam last week, and it included the usual chest xray test. I was asked to report to the clinic this afternoon and to my surprise, they told me to undergo my chest xray again. They found scars on my lungs and that the repeat exam is needed to find out for sure if the scars are infectious or not. I have not had any history of TB or any lung or pulmonary disorder in the past. I am already 40 years old and this is not the first time I took an xray test.
1) The presence of keloid scars or hypertrophic scars developing on the chest are quite high and your GP might be worried for that. Sometimes the scar is hypertrophic, or thickened, but confined to the margin of the wound. Hypertrophic scars are redder while keloids are raised and look shiny and dome-shaped, ranging in color from pink to red.
2) Secondly there is a possibility of pityriasis rosea and the scar that you have on the chest can be the herald patch.
My question is, can a specialist tell from the scars on my leg, what type of operation I would have had and the time it would have taken for such an operation and would it have needed a blood transfussion.
I know I did have a transfusion, but in this situation I need to prove it. Can you help?
regards.
My husband went to the ER with chest pains and was kept waiting for more than an hour. As you well know, this is a big no-no. I wrote a letter to the hospital and never even got an answer. And, to cap it all, this was a famous teaching hospital. Not only that, my husband developed the chest pains while seeing a client. The client happened to be a doctor, and took him personally to the ER.
It was then removed surgically He has not yet been told whether he is to have further chemo sessions. The consultants say they will know in about 2 weeks from operation date. Is this a 'bad sign'; would they not know the extent of the cancer from initial tests that were done, or at least from the time of the operation itself? We are very concerned for him and would be grate for your opinion.
My friend once had TB but is healed now. The chest x-ray images show scars (pulmonary nodules) some of which are partly calcified on lungs, in particular on the right lung. She had a job offer in UAE but the scars prevented her taking it up due to their strict rules on TB scars on lungs.
A search on the internet came up with two solutions claiming to heal those;
1. Longidaza manufactured in Russia is said to be able to cure lung scars.
2.
i had servere acne and during the course it got worse basically imagine all the acne under the skin lying dormant waiting to come out all at once i would sleep with a t-shirt because the acne would pop during my sleep causing my sheets to be covered in blood yes disgusting!
I had a lot of bleeding during the operation so I had to be cauterized more times than usual. All this because the doctor forgot to ask if I was taking antibiotic (aparently they enlarge the veins or something). Recovery was awful, 1 week after I threw up and had all my scars open again and went to hospital once more.
