Hi everyone! I hope everyone is well. Some people asked for an update and I finally had some time to share my healing progress. I’m pretty happy with the results and I will become even more satisfied as the scar becomes white/flesh coloured. Honestly, I was pretty scared just a while back because l had done a micropigmentation and collagen microneedling session just to speed up the process of healing. I was scared because it came out redder than before and I thought it’ll never get back to the stage it was at! Thankfully, it’s healing properly. Today is my first day walking in public without my medipac, silicone tape. Let me know what you guys think!

Healing Progress
cornflakes2June 20, 2017
It's been approximately 3-4 months after the surgery and the scar is healing quite well. Some parts are turning white/skin coloured as I had hoped. The doctor said usually the full maturation of a scar takes 1 full year of healing. I will see her again on July 26 to check on the healing. I still put the paper tape on it everyday but now occasionally let it breathe at nighttime (after massaging the area with vitamin E cream). I like the progress so far and will keep this post updates. :)

Pictures of my healing progress in one month. Last time I updated was on Feb 4. The scar looks a lot more white now :)

How are you feeling about the scar? I mean, are you self conscious or relieved? I've got a little black forearm Tattoo and if I waked up with a single thin scar instead of it I think I would be super happy! I think the most annoying thing will be all the questions by friends and other people, but we own OUR BODIES so we have the right to decide for ourselves.

So happy for you. I would love to have the same result. Emidio, I'm currently going through the same dilemma. I have a bigger tattoo on my thigh and would like a single thin scar instead. We need to do everything to make ourselves feel better

I'm actually relieved that it's healing quite rapidly. The goal of my healing is to see it turn into a completely thin white line and then let it fade completely. This beats having a tattoo you hate any day. :)

I'd say if you're prepared for the surgery then go for it! Find a specialist who is confident in his/her work.

Great! Let me say that your scar is healing very well and I'm sure nobody will ever notice/care about it that much. I'd be actually proud of it, because it is a "natural" remainder of a difficult time that you've overcome instead of an unwanted and artificial design on your body. I'm still undecided between give laser a try or going straight on excision. Maybe the first option (since mine is all black) and then I'll see. Anyway, your review is sooo supportive! :)

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm over this tattoo and I'm about to see a couple of plastic surgeons. Wishing you all the best. Keep updating the photos for us!

I think it's great! I would get mine excised in a heartbeat if I could. Mine is on my ankle/foot and there just isn't enough skin there! Good luck to you! :)
