August 31, 201213 yr Not bad. Most of my "for VSG" scars are barely noticeable, or at worst a medium pink color. Very thin, like lines drawn with a pen. A few are worse, but they were re-opened for multiple surgeries. The condition of YOUR scars may vary and will depend on things like HOW you scar. That in turn depends on a lot of different things. Please see this post I made a while back. It's easier to link it than recreate.
August 31, 201213 yr I'm 20 months post-op and from a foot away you can't see them. If you get up close and know where to look they are visible but they have faded to almost my normal skin tone.
August 31, 201213 yr It really depends on how your skin reacts, it's a laproscopic procedure so the incisions are very small. I tend to scar very badly and have enough of 'em to impress any chick Mine too are pretty mild looking with the largest one kinda pink and rough and visible if you're looking for it. I would place this near the BOTTOM of any list of concerns you would have about surgery. The benefits sure outweigh ANY scarring by far.
How bad is the scarring months after vsg surgery?
