WORTH IT$7,900
2nd revision for one side (the side I KNEW needed it the day I got done w the first revision) scheduled for dec. I'm even MORE nervous this time since I know what I'm in for. I'll have all of Xmas break to heal though and to keep me out of the gym.

The procedure was not fun. The novacane shots...

The procedure was not fun. The novacane shots literally brought tears to my eyes. I came home and instantly debandaged to check things out. My right side now had an even bigger dog ear. Left side... Flawless! I cried... 1 because I know I'm going to have to have it fixed again in 6 months, and 2 I was really hoping to be done! They told me to hang in there until swelling went down before I panicked. It has been 5 weeks... Not much improvement and my scar is still very uneven. I am so very happy with the overall procedure but very unhappy with the revision. I guess we'll see what's to come at my 2 month appt. he seems to get frustrated when i express unhappiness w it's unevenness so I'm always anxious to go there now. I'm just very self conscious that my scar sticks way out of my jeans on one side.

Revisions tomorrow morning. A bit uneasy about it. I have to have dog ears removed, half my scar moved down to level out, and pouches fixed on my sides which will take my scar higher and all while I'm AWAKE! I am not looking forward to all those injections in my abdomen. Will update after....

Whats an oleeva strip? Im looking for something to cover my scar for tanning, although it'll be awhile before I can tan...which btw-how long are you supposed to wait before tanning?

it runs about $100 but works miracles for flattening your scar. I'd highly recommend it. I waited only 6 months to tan, they recommend a year but I was going to Jamaica. Now I just tan my scar and all, it has actually help blend it in. If you don't want to purchase an oleeva strip, they told me to put the strongest sunscreen on the scar every time.
