I'm So Sure It's Worth It

1 year out Panniculectomy

WORTH IT
Still happy with overall results but my scar is the worst.... I don’t have a problem covering it up. It itches underneath my scar at times and I can never get the itch because I can’t feel where it itches ( if that makes sense lol ????) it’s still numb all around my scar. So women of color be cautious because we do keloid and get hypertrophic scarring. It all looks better in person.

Thanks for sharing your experience, this is very helpful. I'm scheduled for a panniculectomy next Thursday, 7/26. I've been looking for advice on what type of diet is recommended. Do you have any suggestions? Best, ChrissyDi

Scar looks good ps says keep an eye on it because it seems like it is starting to thicken a bit. Praying to God that it doesn't because the scars on my boobs are terrible. Fingers crossed ????

Is there any updates on your scar? Also,how do you feel about the wound vac? I’m getting this procedure and wanted to ask my Ps about a wound vac

My scar ended up hypertrophic.... I’m black so my chances are high for this. But after the vac it was great. For 2 months.

I’m Black too so I worried about this (I’m about Rihanna’s shade just for reference). Thank you for the reply! Hope you continue to heal well
