Here is princess_n_thep  "Here is Princess_n_Thep remarks on this picture"
princess_n_thep:
THESE PICTURES ARE 12 DAYS POST OP!
Both pictures show the very minmal scars/incisions. The bruising I had was very minimal. The brown/yellow rings you see around the actual incisions is NOT bruising but is the leftover "superglue" still. I take a shower EVERY day and wash them but they are slow to come off. From what I gather, they "glue" the incisions, let that dry, then put a "coating of glue" over and around the incisions again. The scab had just fallen off on the top incision so it is a little pink, my bra had scuffed it off. The only real bruising i got was the one top of the belly button. The one that was the most sore was the longer port incision.
I am VERY happy with the size of them and the expertise in the cut! I know that I am a fast healer but I expect that I would be hard pressed to find the smaller ones in 6 months. I will just keep posting updates on this thread as I go along. I plan to take another picture at 6-8 weeks post op, another at 6 mo, then another at a year.
ENJOY MY BELLY!!!!!!!! princess_n_thep

State: Arizona | Good job Nana, I don't mind at all! Yep, but if you can cut and paste into the original message my "information" about my incisions I would appreciate it! It really does look like bruising and isn't.
And I think it is important to note that this is MY belly, it kinda sounds like your 12 day post op pic.
And I must say, wha a pretty belly you have! I would NEVER guess that you are 215!
And bandit, does that mean I look like crap? ha ha ha

| Jenna, your scars look good, try using a little rubbing alchol it will take some of the yellow and sticky stuff off around the outside of the incision. I used it on mine at 2 weeks post op and they cleaned up beautifully and Nana You do look great at 215, would of never thunk.
Jenna, I know this may sound funny, but where are your boobs? Are you lying down taking that pic? | |

State: Florida | The scar that is highest on my stomach is kind of thick, should I put Mederma on it to help it heal flush to the skin, its starting to worry me, and my scars are still pink, I had my suregry in Nov., should they still be pink or should they have turned white already?

State: Arizona | I am holding up Laverne and Shirley (my boobies) in the pic. And it is very close up. Plus, they are still perky and dont hang much at a DD.
Sexy panties probably would help ha ha. But alas, I can't be outdone!! Next time I will put on da' thonggggg! Watch out!

City: Yorktown State: Virginia | Have you changed the batteries in your scales lately, I think they must be stuck, I can't believe you weight 215. Looking good!
Oh yea, I used goop off to get my tape residue off. Just go lightly with it and don't get it in your incisions.

| LOve the thread ladies- this is truely good to see how things are healing.
Jenna yours look like they will be perfect in just a few weeks - I can't believe how fast they are healing!!
Nana- Well DAM Girl - Yours scars are the very last thing anyone would be looking at;0) You look Smashing! Is the port # 4 on you-I am just wondering if thats the one. I can see its the same spot has Jennas but can barely tell? Is it #4?
