i have very tight scar tissue/ cording from lumpectomy and SNB end December .. I have recently sourced this link on u tube witch have found very useful https://www.thebreastcancerphysio.com/
@NeensA , what a handy video! I think I'll stick to the top layer massage techniques for a good while, I'll be worried about opening up the wound with the middle layer squeezing and rolling ones and too scared to try the suction cups!
I've had a few different operations over the last few years and found the first couple of massage steps on here really help with the healing. I once had to see a scar massage specialist (who knew that was a job!) and a lot of the techniques she used are in here.
thanks for the helpful advice @NeensA . I may try the bio oil when I've finished the Epiderm. Can you remember approximately how long it took for the lump under your lymph node scar to disappear?
I had my lumpectomy in December. I didn't get a lump on my breast scar but they may have been because it opened up and needed stitches. I did get the lump along the scar from my lymph node removal in my armpit but that has now gone.
I've been massaging bio oil on my breast scar which has made a huge difference and I've been using Kelo-cote on the armpit which has been good but tbh I tend to forget to put it on as much as I should.
Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to look after and maybe improve my scar after a lumpectomy about 7 weeks ago. I've been massaging my scar with Epiderm cream for about 2 weeks and the scar feels like there's a hard lump along it's length. Can anyone advise if the lump is here to stay or will massaging it help? In any case how long should I moisturise and massage? Thanks Kx
