How Noticeable Are Your Scars

For those of you a year or more post op, how is the scaring ? This is my first incisions of any kind and I'm wondering what to expect.

Barely noticeable, one thin white line, the littler ones are gone. I did need to move port and reduce te profile though, that was like a walnut under my skin.

almost invisible now on 3 incisions. It's been since Aug 6

Mine can be barely seen and a small line by my port sight.

i had five of them. 4 you can just barely make out and the 5th (where my port is) is a pink line about 2 inches long....id rather have those marks of success than be obese. (and as time goes on by, i am sure it will fade even more)

I was banded in April and my scars are fading...but still noticable--which is typical with my skin type. I am not planning on wearing a bikini top anytime soon so it really doesn't matter. :)
