Bryce's Photos

Sommer Russell  That face is so beautiful no one will be looking at that scar anyway. If they do, say, "Hey, eyes up here!"

Susan Lynn  Sommer is right! You don't have anything to worry about.
I'm also amazed at some of the selfies from the mini-s and sternotomy heart warriors - barely noticeable after a little healing.

Bryce Martin  I’ll be using lots of vitamin e, but will also be glad to have a scar that shows what I’ve come through!!

Louanna Miller  The scar is definitely indicative of a journey you won’t forget. My son got married 4 weeks after my OHS. I went as wore a jacket to rehearsal dinner and my scar showed. It was still quite red. About three weeks later o was at a formal dinner and had a blousevon the showed the top inch and a half of the scar. The following day 2 people stopped me and told me they thought it was great that I was comfortable letting it show.

My scar is a bit more noticeable on top than towards the bottom. It’s just how it is healing. At 8 weeks I was allowed to start using products on it for scar healing. I’m using a silicone product, Cica Care, recommended by my heart surgeons NP. I also have a scar gel, I’m still unsure which is giving the best results.

I know it’s important that you wear a surgical bra or fitted cami to helpmhild the incision together as this allows it to heal with a thin line.
