Re: scar tissue
Also, my PS recommended a scar reducing product called "Scar Fade" which Amazon sells. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to. I used an antioxidant facial cream on the original mastectomy scar and that scar looks great, but I can't say for sure it was due to the cream. The Scar Fade product is a silicone-based band aid sort of application.
