Tibia LATN/LON Scars
« on: October 22, 2020, 03:05:23 AM »
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could speak on the scars left after LATN/LON on the tibia.

I have seen the diary of Jolien (LON tibia Giotikas) for example and the scars look great 5+ months after frame removal. The other photos that I see online seem low resolution/not that far after removal.

Any tips on reducing the scars would be great as well. I am male with a bit of leg hair so maybe that would help as well?

keep em out of the sun
for 2 years
sun exposure will cause hyper pigmentation

what ethnicity areyou? some people are more prone to hypertrophic or keloid scarring

Black, but I don't think I have those scars (from IVs/cuts I have had in the past)
