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

post-65317-13813670320227_thumb.png

I know the discoloration will go away, what I am really wondering is , is it like this for most people or is this something unique to me. Every scar I can remember has taken the better part of a year to fade away.

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

Thanks for all the replies. :)

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!
