There is no worse soft tissue damage than surgeries and ultimately amputation. Every layer of soft tissue and bone have been severed with amputation. The trauma to the tissue is immense. The body has to cope and find ways to repair damage.
Even though there are many complications or comorbidities, the context of this article concentrates on the necessity of immediate scar therapy following a surgery. After lymph drainage massage and initial closing of the wound, soft scar massage and skin serums should start immediately.
All surgeries, including amputations, traumatize the tissue. The wound healing is faster with the aid of MLD (lymph drainage massage) right after surgery. In order for the scar to become more esthetic the wound needs to be treated with the right serums as soon as the wound closes. The right serum encourages original cell tissue growth instead of hard fibrotic scar tissue.
For amputees the ethics of the scar might not be as important as the healing of the tissue to be soft in order to fit into prosthetics smoothly without discomfort. Hopefully this will reduce the necessity of corrective post amputation surgeries. To achieve that multiple sessions of scar therapy will be mandatory. Scar therapy can be painful. Multiple tools, like vibration and cupping may be used when the tissue has reached enough healing in order to be manipulated more vigorously.
