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. :)

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.

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.

I'm proud of my battle scar (as I call it). Every time I look at it I am reminded that I have a new heart and I am alive...

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