If you have it done by laprascope, you'll have 5 marks....open, one long scar....with the spider 1 mark....that's a question you can ask your surgoen, he or she knows what his or her work looks like after a while.....

i was lucky, I got 6 incision scars. Not too bad, they are going away! :)

I can only find one of my scars at 11 months out. All of the others are gone, or are so blended into my stretch marks from babies that I can't find them anyway. :)

2 Lissa:

Lol, at Lissa I maybe the same way, because I have a lot of stretch marks. So when I get smaller I'm still gonna have those on my stomach, huh?

Kay, yes, you'll still have the stretch marks, but they will look some better. I use body oil every day and am using the brushing technique to try and help the loose skin.

Good luck! :)

What is the brushing technique?

I had 5 tiny incisions- 4 of them were smaller then pencil erasers and the 5th was about as long as a dime is wide. At almost 4 months I can barely see them.

I asked my surgeon pre-op about scars and he took a piece of paper and drew the actual incision sizes on a fake tummy- made me feel a lot better!
