I took this picture to model a bracelet and necklace beads that I made to sell in my Etsy store. And at first I was going to Photoshop out my scar… But I'm not going to hide who I am. This is me. :)

4 weeks post op. Lump nearly gone. Scar healing nicely.

Steve Farthing

Only 4 weeks, but looks to be fading out quite a lot in the lower half.

Stephanie Jones

yeah. my 3 drain hole scars are horrible. just gaping huge. (i guess because those weren't sealed w/ surgical glue.

Maggi Turner

Looks good Stephanie

Clare Auten

Looks great! I'm almost 3 years out and mine won't fade. In fact it turns purple in cold weather. I still don't hide it. Be proud.

Catie B

You are a beautiful lady and your scar doesn't diminish that in the slightest. That surgical glue must be a marvel! My scar's much wider and redder and my surgery was in Sept.

Stephanie Jones

yes Catie, the surgery glue did an amazing job!! no dots on each side like you get with stitches

Mine still hasn't faded and it's been almost 3 years. I have embraced mine...I don't hide it. You look great!

Emily Rowley

Your scar looks like it is healing really well! 😃 How long has it been?

Rita Savelis

Yeah, it's tough. Especially since others see it more than we do and can get used to it faster than we can. I still have trouble with mirrors....! Take care.

Lise Bowles

It's the mark of a survivor! Mine is a lot harder to photograph and gets a bit irritated by my bra.

So this is the fourth day in a row that my blood pressure has been normal and my resting pulse has been normal. During my hospital stay and up until about five days ago I still had very low blood pressure and a very high pulse. My cardiologist switched m

Bob Fessler

Wow. 100 over 77 is normal? I thought that might be a bit low on the top side but I know nothing about it. I'm glad you are feeling it is good. You are getting better which is wonderful!

Stephanie Jones
