Q. Can a different surgeon completely release existing adhesions even if they didn't perform the original surgery?
Dr. Young-moon Yoo explains how surgeons can resolve adhesions from previous surgeries by preserving anatomy and using advanced techniques.
Hello!
I have prepared a brief session to explain a topic that many of you might be curious about. ^^
Q) Can a different surgeon completely release existing adhesions even if they didn't perform the original surgery?
A) Hello, this is Dr. Young-moon Yoo, Representative Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery, with your ‘1-Minute Plastic Surgery’ update.
Today’s question is: ‘Can a different surgeon completely release existing adhesions even if they didn't perform the original surgery?’ Of course, it is true that the original surgeon may find it easier to resolve the issue, as they know exactly which method was used, what type of thread was utilized, and where the fixations were placed.
However, even if the surgery was performed by another doctor, a significant portion of existing adhesions can be resolved by carefully removing the scar tissue from the previous surgery while preserving the normal anatomical structures as much as possible. Additionally, anti-adhesion agents can be used to prevent further scarring, and techniques such as fat repositioning or fat grafting can help prevent unwanted multiple folds or new adhesions.
