Gallbladder scars by keyhole surgery.
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had my gallbladder taken out by keyhole surgery at the beginning of may. The scar under my breasts is really sore and itchy. It's still very raised. Does anyone have any advice on if this is normal? Thank you.

I've done this on the scars from my last two ops and it really helps, just wish I'd known about it for the earlier ones!!

The scar is so inconvenient isn't it! The worst place for a woman as right on the bra line! I wore a sports bra for quite a while after surgery so not to irritate it. My Consultant recommend Bio Oil (chemists also sell cheaper alternative versions like "Re-Gen Oil" etc). I religiously used it every day and the itch went as soon as I put it on and it smoothed out so quickly At my post op check up, the Doctor double checked the date of my operation as couldn't believe how fast the incisions had healed. So I highly recommend! I did also end up having my dissolvable stitches removed as they were a bit tight and was making my skin pucker... That also helped ease the itching.
Best of luck!
