Post Op Incisions

Would someone describe to me how well your incisions have healed? Is there noticeable scaring?

My incisions have healed very well not really noticeable. They seem to fade more and more over time. I use cocoa butter on mines once they healed. I know where they are because I would look at them every day other than that they will fade away. Plus they are super small incisions with helps them not be very noticeable.

Mine, too, are not very noticeable, BUT I have rubbed Mederma on them EVERY day after my shower. I'm 17 weeks out and they have turned from red to a light pink/grey. I probably won't be wearing a bikini, but still they bother me. The 2 smallest ones are almost non-existent. They 3 others are about an inch. (All in all, not a bad tradeoff for going from a 3x to a size 8-10 in 17 weeks!!)

I'm 5 months out and mine have definitely faded but are still noticeable. They don't really bother me. Maybe the would if I were in my 20s and planning to wear a bikini...but I'm not.

My 4 small incisions have faded to the point where I can pass them off as freckles. The big one, could be mistaken for a birthmark - it's about 1 1/2 across and fading slowly.

If I decide to wear a bikini, I think I could do a comb-over with some of my belly hair and hide it. ~:-)

Thanks guys. I guess I'm concerned about this since I really don't want people to ask me about my scars forever. I'm a guy, so I'll be going shirtless at the pool and stuff. I guess I could always tell people I was stabbed in a bar fight. Lol

Please don't do a comb-over with your belly hair. Hahaha, that was funny.

As a guy and having the "advantage" of some hair, I dont even know if I could find mine now. They have faded away to where I really would need to look for them. Now, I have not really paid attention but as I get more and more tan as the summer goes on, they may show up (since scars tan differently than normal skin) but to this point, when I look in the mirrow, I dont notice them.
