Hi guys, it's been a few weeks!
Mainly as nothing much has changed, but I'm going to post a couple of photos anyway. If you look at my scar close up, it looks paler, but from a distance it doesnt look any different right now . I have another surgical scar across my neck which seemed to go darker for a few months before it started going paler so perhaps that's how my skin heals, who knows!
Despite being told you can resume bedroom gymnastics after 3 weeks, it was really more like 6, but more because I was paranoid of undoing any good work, not because I was sore (priorities!)
I just started back on my core exercises 2 weeks ago at 14 weeks post. I have no pain whilst doing those but definitely feel it later in the evening and generally get a small amount of centralised swelling which has gone by the following morning.
I've also stopped using the kelocote scar gel (I used it for 12 weeks) as I didnt really think it was doing much and have just been using a really good moisturiser a couple of times a day.

Hiding my scar

Sorry, the photos didn't upload on my previous post so here they are! One photo shows my scar with camoflage concealer in the bright light of my bathroom and the other in the dimly (ambience, ladies!) lit bedroom...

'Hiding' my scar at 8 weeks
MU
I recently bought some heavy pigment concealer - Camoflage Cream by Make Up Forever. It claims to be waterproof and smudge proof and you can apply it in layers to build up the coverage. It only takes a few minutes for it to set so application in layers doesn't need to be time consuming, though you do need to blend it pretty quickly for the same reason!
These pictures show me with only 2 layers in the harsh reality of the bathroom light and then in the dimly lit date night bedroom hahaha. As you can see, with the lights down low you can't really see my scar with the concealer applied!

What's the name of the make up concealer and where can I buy it?
Also you look amazing, looking to have that done this summer. Where did you go for surgery and what doctor did your surgery.
Thank you sorry for all the questions
