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

Trying to get used to this scar.
👍 Emily Rowley and Chris Vereb reacted to this
Mine still hasn't faded and it's been almost 3 years. I have embraced mine...I don't hide it. You look great!
Your scar looks like it is healing really well! 😃 How long has it been?
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.
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.
I had Minimal surgery for MVR and thought about it too late, but are you putting Mederma on it?

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
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!
