I still have two more surgeries on my skin around my left eye.
Hope all goes well and there is no or at least minimal scaring. Please keep us apprised of your status even if by private FRmail.

If you are not already doing so, take 250mg to 500mg of Vitamin C every 6 hours or so, more if you smoke. Also take up to 400 IU of Vitamin E, natural if possible. Get a bottle of 100 IUs and increase by 100 every 3 or 4 days. Can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure if you start high immediately. Both C and E are essential for wound healing.
The ugly Keloid scars that black people often get are due to a Vitamin E deficiency, so if you have any black troops in with you tell them about this. Also, once the skin has formed you can spread E directly on the skin to improve healing. Also good for aging skin. ;-) I am 72. My son is doing his 20 in Special Forces. Thank you for your service, and Merry Christmas!!
