Seven weeks scar pic

[Jason]

I just found this section based on topless's post, so posting my seven week scar photo. I hope the attachment works, if not will try another route.

Nice "topless" scar!

That is a nice scar. Very straight. Thanks for sharing your topless pic.

Oh my lord, what happened? It looks good Jason, has a female surgeons touch to it. Once the hair grows over you will never see it again. They had fun shaving me too, took forever, they probably missed their coffee break

Nice and straight, friend!

Mine isn't as straight, but it looks like it will fade out to match my skin sooner than yours. Of course I'm a whole week farther out than you, but I don't think mine has changed much in the past week.

 

[Jason]

Thanks, everyone. Mine is still quite red, although I think that is just how my body heals. I will probably not fade out as quickly as most, but I know from other scars that it will eventually do so. I will have to keep it out of the sun for the entire summer, I am guessing!

nice! pretty soon you will forget it is even there!

great scar very clean looking. Staples or glue ?

 

[Jason]

Thanks, Bina! My incision was glued shut, so no staples. The drain hole at the bottom was stitched shut and now I have what looks like a division sign instead of a second belly button as others have. I started using scar gel after this pic was taken, and it seems to be helping in fading out the scar. The only problem with that statement is that I don't know what it would have done without the scar gel, but it is looking better in any case.

My staples were left in for several days and I cursed them every day
Isn't it fun having an extra belly button....LOL

 

[epstns]

Ugh! I have three extras from drains. Kind of looks like the broken lines down a two-lane highway. . . or else it means that I lost the knife fight.

I have three drainage tube scars as well Steve! They look very odd. My gorgeous daughter thinks it looks like a smiley face (****s for eyes, long scar for nose, three drainage scars for mouth!). It gives me a giggle if I'm feeling yuk about them.

 

[epstns]

They don't really bother me, except that they pucker differently than the main scar does. Must be a bit of middle-age flab lower in the abdomen. . .

For me, the one real "stand-out" feature I've gained is the prominent bulge of my pacemaker. It looks like somebody forgot a tool in there. The scars are already a close match for my normal skin tone.
