Why doesn't epidermal wound healing result in scar formation?
Epidermal wound healing typically does not result in scar formation because it primarily involves the regeneration of the epidermis through processes like re-epithelialization. The basal keratinocytes migrate and proliferate to restore the skin barrier without significant disruption to the underlying dermal tissue. Additionally, the absence of inflammation and minimal damage to deeper layers help preserve the original skin structure, allowing for a more complete and aesthetically normal healing process. In contrast, deeper wounds that affect the dermis often lead to scar formation due to the formation of fibrous tissue.
Can scar tissue develop after five years of having a lumpectomy?
Yes, scar tissue can continue to develop and change over time after a lumpectomy. It is a normal part of the healing process, but it can occasionally lead to complications such as pain or restricted movement.

What is the scar formation process and how does it affect the healing of wounds?
Scar formation is the body's natural response to repairing damaged skin tissue. When a wound occurs, the body produces collagen fibers to close the wound, resulting in a scar. The scar tissue is often different in texture and appearance from the surrounding skin. While scars help to heal wounds, they can sometimes cause discomfort or restrict movement depending on their size and location.

Why do I have Scar tissue in my lungs after valve replacement?
Scar tissue can form in the lungs after valve replacement surgery due to the body's natural healing process. This scar tissue helps to repair the tissue around the valve and is a normal part of the healing process. In some cases, excessive scarring may occur, leading to complications. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your lung health post-surgery.
