I know it has been a year since my last post. Let’s be honest though…it takes several months and even years for scars to fade. This way you can see a side by side one year later.

It seems to be a bit smaller but also darker. I am affraid you went into the sun too soon after your surgery not giving the scar time to fade more, that is also why you kept the dark edges, otherwise the scar would have been much less noticable. However if you are pleased with the result, that is what counts
Thanks for the update.

I actually have and still do keep it continuously covered. After some previous/post surgeries this is just how my skin pigments. Everyone heals differently! I’m just showing my experience. Some people have keloid scars, some have hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) and then hyper (darkening). I never go out without SPF 45+ and never sun on my stomach without a towel over my scar.

You ar right, everyone does have a different pigmentation. Are you now completley satisfied with the result, or are you still considering getting it redone in one straight line?

thank you so much for your blog! so hard to find personal experiences out there and also one’s with a long time passed so we can really see the scar that remains.

Thanks for your blog. I also started one w/my experience having a tattoo removed (http://regrettingink2.wordpress.com) where I’ll post my post-surgery pics soon.
You encouraged me, and I hope people will think better before having ink done…
