[malibu82]

hey everyone. i haven't posted my scar in awhile so here is an update. i am noticing it is a little crooked on top, which you can notice in the last picture..... but oh well! here it is at 7 weeks

Looks excellent Jackie! I couldn't see the crooked part until the last pic. The lighting must have to hit it the right way to see it. And you can already tell, yours is healing so nice, it's gonna be almost invisible anyway, so being crooked won't matter. The top 3 or 4 inches are already almost invisible in those first two pics!

Jackie that looks terrific......by the end of summer it will be a just a faded line. Keep up the good recovery. Big warm hugs.....Michael

Yup, the surgeon must have had a little hiccup. It will heal nicely, don't worry.

Jackie, I think your's is going to look fine. I, too, do not have a straigh line but, rather, like you a shallow "S" curve. My surgeon said that when the skin is covered with the special saran wrap like plastic as the team prepares for surgery, the skin gets stretched a little so what looks like a perfectly straight line to the surgeon sometimes takes a different shape when the plastic is removed and skin relaxes. By the time you are a 7 months, it is likely that most people will be unable to see it clearly.

Your scar looks good! Thank you for posting pictures... it helps to see it in "real" life. Honestly it has been one of the things I've been putting out of my mind, trying not to worry about it, but when all is said and done I really don't want a scar but if I have to have one I want one that looks that nice!

Your scar looks like it is healing nicely. I have noticed that mine is a little crooked as well.

Jackie,
I agree with the others that your scar is looking really good. Honestly, mine doesn't look as well healed as yours and I am 8 months post op.

 

[malibu82]

thanks again everyone!

Wow, looking good! I hope mine looks so good at 7 weeks. What week did the bump at the top of the sternum disappear? I'm at 5 weeks 2 days and it's still quite a big lump.

my bump was completely down about 3 weeks after surgery i think. im sure yours will start going down soon! thanks!
