Incision Scars

[NYYnNYGFAN 0]

I was banded in Nov. 2010 and my incisions think they healed nicely. They are flat and smooth but one is almost a deep red or purple color. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to fade and if they do...are they still noticeable?

Just wondering..!

all of my incisions have faded except for my port incision. it's a little raised and a darker color than my normal skin... and of course the largest of the incisions.

i actually don't mind the scar. it's a reminder of where i was then, where i am now and where i'll be in the future!

It's been three years since I was banded and if I didn't know where to look for my scars I wouldn't be able to find them! The scar over my port was deep red for awhile and then it started to slowly fade. I don't recall the exact length of time it took but now it's barely visible.

My scars all look different depending on how they healed. If they healed right away then it is hard to see them. If they look a few weeks to heal then they are darker.

Here is an old post of mine showing.... I think 12 scars at the time from my band, and plastics adventures. I will post another new photo soon since this was almost 6 months ago
