I had a operation last year - in my arm pit/side of chest, and the scar has hurt me for 14 months - i've been back to hospital and the surgeon said he can remove the scar! I've heard off celebs having this done, but how is it done? will i not have a scar then? is it skin graft....please help.

i dont no - its a big scar and its also thick, it goes from 1 side of my arm by my chest, right to my back.
I can't believe you didn't ask while you were there!

but good luck :o)
I had laser surgery on one of my scars but some of the others I've used those gel sheets you can buy from Boots and some I've rubbed coconut oil on and they've gradually disappeared.

Got to say none of my have hurt though.

Good luck
You didn't say whether you were Caucasian or Negro....BUT.

Choose Plastic Surgeon. the scar will be excised and sewn together again using subcuticular stitches, but they will still be a slight scar.........depending upon whether or not you are Negroid.
