I'm planning for surgery this summer and asked the doctors office if they do single or multi incision. They said they only do multi. I feel like I'd prefer the single to have less scars but I don't know of another doctor in my area that does the surgery. Will the scars not be that big of a deal or is it worth it to find another doctor who does single incision?

Thanks!

My bff had this surgery 3 years ago, you barely notice the scars, she put I believe vitamin e and cream on as soon as she was allowed. I think your scar recovery will depend on how well you keep up with it. I plan to follow what she did so hopefully I have the same luck! Good luck to you!

I forgot to ask how many and found out day of (some do 3 holes VS 5). The incisions are so tiny that for me 4 of the 5 aren’t even really visible 2 months out. The bigger one does look like a cut a little less than an inch long, the others are just slight discoloration, but no real cut. I have trouble finding all of them now. Unless you’re planning on stomach modeling you should be fine with the regular ones, they’ll mostly be invisible and to anyone looking they won’t appear to be surgical scars because they are so tiny.

One thing they did say is keep them out of the sun for the first year or they will darken. My stretch marks and beauty marks are way more prominent.

Hmmm I hadn't planned on a bikini at 72 anyway. Besides I'm always cold, my stomach,already looks, due to stretch marks, like the road map of Indianapolis with all the county roads marked. Beauty spots, is that what they are?, Shoot I thought I was just rusting So hand me the Hudson Bay Blanket, I feel a breeze coming on.
