Scar & Belly button 1 year post opp

A few of you asked how my scar looks and how my belly button is healing so I attached a few images. My scar is still pretty dark but my c section scar looked like this for years before it started to lighten. I really don't mind the scar it was worth the trade off, and it hides well under clothes. Maybe I'll tattoo over it one day if it really bothers me. As far as my belly, I feel like in person my belly button doesn't look as dark but it does in pics. I'm also considering piercing it to draw attention away from how dark the hole seems. I ordered a magnetic belly ring just to see how it looks before I commit to a real piercing. I'll keep you posted!

You look great! I was thinking of piercing my BB too! Did you ask Dr Saunders how long you should wait until piercing it?

Thank you! I never asked him, but I'm a year post opp so I just figure it's fine now. I am going to try a magnetic one first to see if I like it before I actually commit. I had my belly pierced when I was 16 and it fell out and ripped my skin. I prob didn't properly care for it (or perhaps my body rejected it) but it left a scar and loose skin after pregnancy so I've always been reluctant to do it again. I may give it a whirl if I like the way the magnetic one looks.

Same here! Had one at 16, however I kept mine in during my first pregnancy and it ruined my BB. If you decide to pierce it, let us know with an update lol!

I'll be 1 year post opp on 6/10 and I love my results. My scar is still dark but I really don't care Bc it's worth the trade off. I've never worn my stomach out or worn lingerie in the last 10 years. Thanks Dr. Saunders!

Thank you!! There were times during recovery I wanted to scream and cry (I'm practically incapable of being still lol) but it was well worth it! Can't wait to follow your journey as well! Good luck!

Sorry I guess that was confusing lol...I'm 4 months post op...so I'm glad to see nice results a year later :)

Wow! You look amazing! I don't see any swelling issues like what I've had. Out of all the stories I've seen your results are some of the best I've seen! I'm almost 3 months postop and the swelling (especially now that I'm working out again) is so yuck! I'll just come over here if I need a reminder to be patient and keep on working on my body!

Hi! thanks so much, you look amaze too! Yes I did get the muscle repair. I saw you used a silicone plug for your belly button, did that help fade the scarring? My belly looks like I have a rash lol
