I was told the same as Chacha. Unfortunately, LIS doesn't prevent new fissures from forming but it should prevent them from becoming chronic. Based on what I have read on here it seems that retears, especially early on, are common as the skin will be delicate for quite some time. It really doesn't mean that the overall prognosis isn't going to be good. I think for the first 6 months to even a year, retears are common. Hang in there Lincoln. It will get better again.
