Band07 374 Posted May 28, 2013 Other than my very small port placement scar, I have next to nothing as far as scarring after my lap band, how does this differ with revision to sleeve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kari61 128 Posted May 28, 2013 I think every surgeon is different in the way they do the surgery and where the incisions are, but I have 4 very small scars in different places on my belly.. 1 Band07 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notime 340 Posted May 28, 2013 I also have four scars and they are miniscule. I suppose if I were a swimsuit model they would concern me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aroundhky 1,174 Posted May 28, 2013 I'm 18+ months post-op. I have 5-6 small scars that have already faded to pretty much nothing and not really able to see them..........even if they weren't covered with hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stefaniwg 172 Posted May 28, 2013 A few of my lapband scares were reused in my revision. Then big one 1-2 inches long and 4 others including the drain but they are minuscule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alaina25 9 Posted May 28, 2013 My surgeon also used my old scars however, you can buy OTC silicone strips at the drug store. They cost about 20 bucks but they've really helped get rid of my scars. I'm 6 weeks out btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
