Anyone willing to post photos of their surgery scars especially those that are at least 6 months + out? I'm not looking forward to the scars because I already had a Tummy Tuck. I kind of have done most things in reverse order. I should have had surgery first. :) Oh well! I'm excited for this journey! Surgery is on MONDAY! Yikes!

I am adding two pics. The white scars are from last August. The new cut is from Monday when I had my gallbladder out. He put new holes next to old holes so they'd blend in. Once the glue falls off, I'm going to try to use silicone sheets to try to avoid the hypopigmentation. Our plastic surgeon recommended it.

Good luck! IMG_20180622_150949044.jpeg IMG_20180622_150939540.jpeg

Thank you so much for sharing. They definitely seem noticeable up close but nice and white. I wonder if sunning/tanning would help or make them look worse? Love how your surgeon went back into the same entry site to take out your gallblader. Very nice and neat. I've always used Mederma in the past but may have to try the silicone sheets. Thanks again for sharing and CONGRATS on the weight loss!
