I'd like to know if more people here had a graft taken from the iliac crest, and what their scar looks like.
I had a graft taken for the chingwing and I'm heading for the 5th month after surgery and the scar looks unsightly to me. I understand the redness should turn white ultimately, but I'm concerned about how wide the scar is.
Perhaps 3,5-4 weeks after surgery I contacted the surgeon since they put in an absorbable suture and the suture did not absorb: not in the slightest bit. So my body spit out part of it after 3,5-4 weeks and about 4(?) weeks after surgery I still had to pull the rest of this absorbable suture out completely (my surgeon advised me to do so). Because of the inflammation the suture caused, the scar looked raw, red, bumpy. And now it looks very wide. I'm disappointed as I went to one of the top docs, paid heaps of money, and I don't understand the problems I've been running into.
Would anyone that had a graft from the iliac crest want to perhaps post a picture of it? I can do the same thing but I'd want to compare what it looks like.
