Here are pictures of my incisions. The first one is one day after surgery 1/6/2010 and the second is from 2 weeks post op 1/19/2010.

 

Two weeks post op and they are healing nicely most of the scabs have fallen off. The redness around the incisions is from a reaction to the DermaBond but the incisions themselves look good.

 

They incisions sights are opposite in each picture because one was taken in a mirror and the other one not. Thats why it looks like my ports site is on the opposite side in them. haha I was a little confused when I first looked at them together.

yeah when I had the reaction to the tape mine looked the same way..the redness and the same shape of the tape. I got blisters on mine as well.

Where are you steri-strips? Did you take them off or did your surgeon not use them? By the time mine came off at week 3 I had almost no scars, 1 month and day post off my port incision is a little pink, but not really noticeable.

My surgeon just used DermanBond on top of the incisions. I never had any bandages or anything. It was like that newskin stuff over top of the the incisions. It started to come off after about a week and a half

interesting... how each surgery is so different, I only have 3 incisions where you have 5 or 6, steri-strips vs. dermabond, etc.. very interesting.. Good luck to you! it's great that you put this up here for people to see, because it was the one question I had and couldn't really find consistent information on prior to my surgery... so this is great info.. Mederma and vitamin e will help with your scars... I used and use coconut oil and cocoabutter before and after the surgery, my surgeon said that's more than likely why I don't really have any scars. Just blessed :)
