Scars from PS

[AKMama 36]

It has been great getting all the informtaion from everyone who has had PS, what I am curious about is how the scars are doing and how long it takes for them to fade? I am looking at having a LBL, BL, and an arm lift but I am worried about how I will look with all the scars. I would love to see some pictures of how well they fade or how long does it take for them to start fading?

Thanks

I have had plastic surgery with three different surgeons and in my opinion the way your scars heal has a lot to do with the skill of the surgeon. I recently had an arm lift in January and the scars are noticeable pink and some of it white. Now, am I happy that I can fit my arms in any jacket or sweater absolutely would do it again in a heartbeat, it is the price you pay for having P.S.

Thank you, most of the pictures I've seen have been right after surgery and I know they are going to be pretty red but wondering how they look say a year out. Glad to hear you have no regrets.

I went on you tube and watched video of people that had had PS after Bariatric surgery. There were some that were a year or so post op. I found it interesting to see how the scars were placed on the arm lift. The video I watched showed the subject raising her arms and moving them in different positions. The scars were placed so they only showed when she raised her arms up pretty high. She also said her surgeon went farther up into her axils because she had skin sag extending into there. You Tube seems to have everything!
