Hello everyone! I'm 21 and I too was in a serious auto accident in July 2010 where I lost my father. I had exploratory surgery and some intestinal repairs and the surgeons left my incision open to heal on it's own. I came home a month and a half later with a wound VAC. I didn't have and problems with the surgery or healing and the would took 3 months to heal. My stomach looks pretty grusome. The wound closed inward to about and inch and a half wide and the rest filled in by granulating from the bottom up. It's about 6 inches long. It's pushed the skin and tissue on the sides of it up in kind of a roll. My trauma surgeon told me I'd have to wait about a year before having reconstructive surgery so all of the swelling and scarring would be finished. Any suggestions on searching techniques for finding a reconstructive surgeon who has experience in working with scars like this? Thanks guys!
