Emily Rowley Looks like it's healing great Kim 😊 I think it might just be the angle you look at it or your breast tissue-mines on part of my breast tissue which makes it lean. I notice you have two separate holes on each side where the tubes had been-I have one large tube hole (now healed/lump) in the middle below my scar. It's normal & I'm a few years post-op and mines hardly noticeable especially when the two gals are together, yours will be too.

Sophia Ridley Looks fabulous! It's very thin and give it a few months and you'll hardly see that.

Sophia Ridley Looks fabulous! It's very thin and give it a few months and you'll hardly see that.
Mine seems to be very pronounced at the top, veers to one side and I've got what looks like Chinese writing at the bottom of mine from the drains and pacing wires.

Emily Rowley I agree Sophia, it's very thin (so it will heal nicely) & looks great!

Kelly Weisgarber Looks really good Kimberly. My chest tubes were under my breast, one area still not healed (at 1 month today) Keep on healing! ❤️

Meredith Bray Looks great! Mine's crooked too, unless I drape my right arm across the top of my head, then it's nice and straight. My scar has been flat and barely noticeable since about 14 months post op. Still itches sometimes though.

Rob Wigley Yours right now looks better than mine at 2 years......oh well!

Jeff V. Once healed at about 2 months, I began alternating applications of vitamin E oil and Mederma. My 9" scar is barely viewable with a thin white line and some slight pink discoloration around the incision line. I've not followed a consistent routine and occasionally miss days. The results have been quite good.

Billy G Looking good! Isn't it crazy how quickly these incisions close? I'll have to post my 3-day post-op pic and take another one soon.

Clare Auten Yours looks great. Mine is still red and purple 2 years later so I am jealous.

Jean Knappik Kimberly, you are healing beautifully...great job!

Liz Burroughs I'm glad that you're healing so well! Best wishes for a complete recovery! Liz

Kelly Weisgarber Looks really good Kimberly. I still am having an issue with where the chest tubes were, they are not healed yet, they are in a tricky spot under my breast. I hope your migraines improve. I have had a couple post-op and the auras were intense. Still having intense ringing in my ears (to my heart beat, pulsatile tinnitus) that I hoped would improve, I will eventually see a neurologist too for that issue. Take care and I hope you feel better every day.

Syed Hassan Great healing

When you are up to it, do you any advice on 'must-have' things from home for a woman at the hospital during recovery?

Steve Waddick So glad to hear they were able to repair your aortic valve. It really makes me second guess going forward with replacement until I get an opinion on repairing mine.

I hope you continue to have a speedy recovery.
