External tibias scars
« on: February 17, 2017, 09:11:51 PM »

Someone can share pictures ?
How are they ?
Can they be erased by an operation?

I would like to see this also. I remember hearing that external femur scars look worse though.

Give me a day or two, then I can show you pictures of monorail LON scars on my tibias approx. 3 weeks after surgery.
Will have the sutures removed on Tuesday.

I did my tibiae, had complications and will do femurs next.

I've also posted them in my diary.

Thanks for the pictures Chris. I was thinking about doing external tibias 5cm with Dr Solomin in Russia. Do you plan on getting scar removal?

Welcome  :)
Maybe, but it depends on how they will look after one year. I don't mind scars actually as long as I don't have them in my face or on my forearms.

Hey Chris, I'm sure it has been very helpful for forum members to see how scarring actually looks, admittedly not nearly as bad as I had previously imagined. From the looks of them, they will fade into small almost invisible marks, even more so with scar revision. Thank you for posting this, keep up the good work.
