My TT scar
1) I don't want to subject my healing scar to any sunlight. So I'm keeping it hidden under 1-piece swimwear (which I look great in now, so that's good).
2) I still have some stretch marks. Now these blend in better when I get some sun, but I'm not getting abdominal sun right now, so they are very silver and bright.
3) My scar is too high to hide under 2-piece swimwear. And I fear too asymmetrical to blend into my skin. I may be able to find some high-waisted bottoms that will cover my scar completely, but none of my current suits do. Especially the left side. Hiding it while wearing a bikini doesn't seem possible at this point.
So here I am with a big choice to make. 6 more weeks of healing to MAYBE lower my incision a couple centimeters at most? Will that make any difference? Will it be more symmetrical? Low enough? Will I be so lucky to heal as well this time? How will it effect my life if I do it? What's the associated cost? Or... do I just live with it and throw away my bikinis.
It's a really tough call, but I've included some pictures and appreciate any feedback. I've also started to read about scar revision. I wish I didn't heal this way and I could just be done with this... gah! What would you all do if you were me?
More scar therapy, some aftercare
So yeah! That's about it. More scar therapy 5/23!
Provider Review
Where to begin? Start to finish Dr B has made this the most seamless and amazing experience I could ever have imagined. His clinic is inviting and modern, his staff are warm and kind, he is obviously a professional and extremely qualified, but he's also very nice and approachable. I felt instantly comfortable with him, like a part of the fam! Plus, the man is just a really great surgeon! My gut instincts told me to go for it! After 2 kids, and an 80+ lbs weight loss, all it took was a custom-designed Mommy Makeover and I feel like I look better now than I did in college. I would recommend him to my best friends, my colleagues, even my sweet mother. If you're on the fence, DO IT! The only negative aspect is that I didn't do it sooner (and to be fair, that's totally not his fault). Call him. You'll love the whole experience.
