Myectomy Scar

[TammyC]

I'm indecisive about having an ablation or myectomy. Is there a really horrible scar after a myectomy?
Anyone have an ablation? Good or bad results?
Thanks

dear tammy

i'm sure people will post here, but you should use the search function (red link above) to find all the ablation and myectomy threads as there are a LOT and a ton of useful info in them already.

Tammy,

As Sarah pointed out do a search for what would be best for you. There are a lot of factors that play a role.
Regarding the scar. That is also different per person. Are you a person that scars bad, than this scar will also not look good. If you do scar normal/good then you should end up with just a line. There are things you can use to make the scar look better after surgery. Mederma is a good ointment to use and try not to strets the scar to much the first couple of weeks after the operation.
But again don't let a scar make the decision on how your hart needs to get fixed.

If you want to ask more questions about the myectomy feel free to PM me. I had mine 7 weeks ago.
