43 Yrs Old 2 C-section Scars and a Skin Cancer Scar!

UPDATED FROM Pinni
8 years post

9 years Postop. Competing in bodybuilding at 51

WORTH IT$9,000
9 years post op, and it was worth it.
At 50 I did my first bodybuilding competitions. I do wish I didn’t have dog ears scars, but Dr.Z sorta blew me off after the first attempt to fix it. Living with it. Done with surgery.

Bodybuilding competitions - wow, that is awesome!! Congrats on results! Thanks for posting your journey; I have my procedure in April and reading yours is really helpful.
Thanks and good luck!! Be patient it really does take a year for everything to calm down. I wasn’t very patient
That’s awesome. Congratulations on your hard work going into a healthy body. Good luck on your future competitions.
Thank you! I have always been into fitness but it’s nice to have a goal to reach!

I guess it is pretty tricky to get it right and I see your point about pursuing it further, you got a lot on your plate and I for one would die for abs like yours!! I do see a diff in the dent, maybe you will see further improvement in time?/ Good luck to you young lady!!

What treatment did you use for your scar? You are so nice and smooth. I am still so red and raised.
I used at first the silicone strips, now I just message Burt's bees body oil after shower now and than. It's almost been 1 yr so that's when u will see a big difference
Hi hun, I was just wondering when you started using the silicone strips and how long for? Seeing surgeon later but I think your scar looks brilliant. I understand your concern with your dimple bit, but I have to say that you look incredible!! xx
Wow, our stories are similar - I just had my scar revision (same indentations on hips and bb scar revision) and I'm worried that it won't make a difference. Your scar looks thinner and lighter than mine though so that's really good. Otherwise I'm generally satisfied with the results - I can wear fitted tops, dresses and pants again without people asking if I'm expecting! That was doing a number on me! For me, I think I just need to tighten up my diet (pretty much the same weight) to see my best results. I'm even considering competing (physique) but I'm worried my scars will show.
Just need to pick the right bikini
What did he do exactly??...normally they have to remove a bit more skin to remove Indentations!!
He used the term fork it, went in and released the skin on the sides and for the indent he removed some fat from hip and injected into the indent
Hmmmm... Never heard of that!! Do you think its going to work??
It didn't make a huge difference, just slight
You look amazing!!

Scar revision = fail

Well thought I had posted some pics when I had revision but they did t come thru. Basically it did nothing I have the same pulls and my old bb is completely collapsed and concaved in. So I think I am done. Dr wants a follow up in spring but.... Not sure I want to pursue this any further
