6 weeks post -op. Healing well, yet slowly. This was a mini-sternal incision. Wendy

Looking good, Wendy! Are you using anything on the incision yet? Hot compresses?

Nice scar heart sister!

Hi Wendy, your scar looks very similar to my mini stern scar (MVR 12/26/14). My surgeon said to use vitamin E lotion once a day & so far, no problems! Take care, Jenni
