Hello
I had a left breast mastectomy last October and my scar feels really taught when i stretch, it feels like my skin was attached to my ribs, is this normal and does it get better over time?
Thanks
Hi there, I noticed your post has slipped down the group as it's quite busy so my reply will bump it up and I am sure someone with the right experience will be along soon. Best wishes
