Are Anybody Elses Incisions Still Obvious 3Months Post-Op?

[CrazyCatLady 130]

I am 4.5 months, and two of my incisions are raised, tender, and pale pink still. My normal MD says that this ocassionally happens *shrugs* I did use Mederma, on the recommendation of a dermatologist friend. The other 3 are small, flat, pale and barely noticble. But, as others have said...no bikinis here, it's all good.

Mine are still noticeable but I don't mind them one bit! Reminds me of the whole process.

I use kelocote and think it helps

Mine are bright red still, sometimes purple looking, and I was sleeved in march. I have a super light complexion though. (one of those people who burn just thinking about the sun) so I know thats the reason behind that.

I thought it was just me! I am 2.5 months post op and mine are reddish-pink. I had my gallbladder out 15 years ago and one of my scars is visible if I wear a light shirt or a tight shirt because it is raised. I just assumed that I don't heal as well as others. I guess that since I have 10 incision scars between the sleeve and the gallbladder along with the stretch marks from 3 pregnancies that bikinis were never in the cards for me anyway!
