direction of scar incision

[flower 2]

Just a generalized question my port scar is horizontal side to side but all my other scars are up and down does any one else have this I asked my doctor and they said the muscle goes up and down and that is why he cut like that just wondering because the up and down scars are more raised. let me know

My other scars, (had to look), are tiny and are barely horizontal, but they are.

My scars are all horizontal too. Ive noticed them shrinking in width as the weight comes off, but they're still dark pink 3 months out.

Yup, me too. All five are horizontal. The port scar is still sizable but the other four are becoming dots.

All Five horizontal here too. I suggest maybe looking at the scar stages thread.

All five of mine are horizontal. I'm 6 months+ out and they are still kind of a dark pink and a little raised. The further away from the port incision the flatter and lighter they are. But I'm pretty pasty white so I'm not surprised mine aren't fading as well as others. My port scar still gets itchy sometimes. It's past time for some Mederma bandaids. Gotta get to Wal-mart.

I saw a lady at the ymca showering who's scars were like wounds... they were like a half an inch wide.. it was kinda creepy..

mine are a thin line..
