Incision Preference

[lilbit]

I am not having any of the incisions shown. The one my doctor is doing is called a limited meridian incision. In which they cut 4 inches from right about the top of my breasts 4 inches down. But I am not having surgery until Tuesday. I will let you know how it turned out

Piper, I had the full cut. Glad to hear folks have options today! Brian

I got the popular RED one as well...it is 7 1/2 inches long, it is as long as the entire length of my sternum.
Its healed beautifully and I never feel the need to hide my scar ever!.
