Marc,

I believe my surgeon didn't use an adhesion barrier either and I had a great outcome on the right side so you can have a good outcome without the barriers. My surgeon used the same approach as yours. I'm hoping to achieve similar results on the left side but expecting the outcome not to be the same as this is my dominate side.

Good luck on Thursday!
