TT tomorrow! Yikes. Need your help with where to place the incision!

By jellybeanbelly on 19 Nov 2012

Still working today and haven't had time to determine where I should put my TT scar. PS said I can pick.  I seem to prefer the straight lines rather than the curvy ones. I assume the downside of the straight lines is that the line is a bit high for a lower cut bikini.  Since I haven't warn a bikini in 20 years that doesn't even seem like a possibility right now.  There is too much fat there right now that I can't even imagine where a bikini line would be anyway.  I generally prefer hi cut underwear so maybe that means that I need the "smiley face" or slightly turned up scar line.  Please send me your thoughts and soon. Surgery tomorrow!

DOING SOMETHING FOR ME 30 Nov 2012
What did you go with?

I went with something that will hopefully allow me a little high arch on the upper thigh of swim suits but told him that I wanted it as straight across as possible. They don't do "straight" but the incisions with the slight curve. My tape is still over my stiches so I can't really see the incision yet. What's really funny to me is that I almost didn't get a TT because I freaked out looking at pictures of the scars and the incisions. When I look at myself in the mirror now, it is the farthest thing from my mind because the rest of me looks so much better than I ever imagined I could. My husband is a bit freaked about the incision, probably because he didn't know it would be so big and didn't study this procedure on line like I did for months prior to doing it! Hopefully he will get over that when the scar fades in a few months. Have you had your procedure yet?
