Scar Issues

Lynn, thanks...........

Lynn, thanks...........

I was told by one of my rehab nurses that Cica Care had had beautifully resolved a keloid scar that one man had.

I want to try ot, but it is very expensive. Maybe I'll treat myself for Christmas.

What is Cica Care and where do you get it? I've seen Mederma and the Neosporin patches, but haven't seen this one? Thanks much. J.

Hi Jeff, I happened to come across your comments and noticed that Dr. De le Torre was your surgeon. I am planning to have him perform a mitral valve repair from the right side, through my ribs. While a different procedure than yours, I would like to see if you have any comments (off the record of course) about him, his performance, quality of the surgery, scar etc.. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

I got your this also as a private message and responded there, so look for that. But suffice it to say that I have had almost no complications and I think that Dr. de la Torre is a great surgeon. I was out of the hospital 2 1/2 days post op, off pain medication after 6 days and have healed remarkably fast and completely. I couldn't be happier.

Best regards,

Jeff
