I can't wait to see my inciscions =P I am only 3 days post-op, so they are still dressed. They'll come off on Thursday!

I know the way I usually heal - and I had a large incision from spine surgery 3 years ago, as well - they will probably be pink for a few months, and then fade down even more. All my other scars end up fading down to white, and are pretty flat as well.

As soon as I'm allowed, I will be rubbing, you can bet! I am a huge fan of cocoa butter lotion - and the extra moisture for the skin will hopefully help out with sagging =P I have also used Scar Fade, and I think that helps as well.

I remember being excited to see my scars and could t wait to take my bandages off! Great reminder about how far we come. It's fun to watch your body heal itself, very strategic our bodies:)
