THESE PICTURES ARE 12 DAYS POST OP!

Both pictures show the very minmal scars/incisions. The bruising I had was very minimal. The brown/yellow rings you see around the actual incisions is NOT bruising but is the leftover "superglue" still. I take a shower EVERY day and wash them but they are slow to come off. From what I gather, they "glue" the incisions, let that dry, then put a "coating of glue" over and around the incisions again. The scab had just fallen off on the top incision so it is a little pink, my bra had scuffed it off. The only real bruising i got was the one top of the belly button. The one that was the most sore was the longer port incision.

I am VERY happy with the size of them and the expertise in the cut! I know that I am a fast healer but I expect that I would be hard pressed to find the smaller ones in 6 months. I will just keep posting updates on this thread as I go along. I plan to take another picture at 6-8 weeks post op, another at 6 mo, then another at a year.

ENJOY MY BELLY!!!!!!!!

Actually no, just itchy. The por one on my left is very tender still. This is what they look like now:eek: Not the red reaction rash from the dressings:phanvan What a mess!!!!

yikes! did everyone bruise like that? I should have said, did anyone else bruise like that?

Do you normally bruise like that? Personally, I'd be concerned if I looked like that after surgery, I'm not sure that amount of bruising is normal.

Fullon my bruising got worse before better. Not nearly as bad as yours but it look a few weeks ( actually it has just now gone away completely)

I bruise very easily because my liver enzymes were really high. (i have nash) which leads to easy bruising.

Some people are just like that. I hope that it all clears up soon!

Hi to StephC, I don't know about anyone else. I shared a room with a young woman but have had no contact with her since.

HarleyNana, I am concerned, but I am seeing the surgeon on Sunday. We are 41/2 hours away from each other by road, one way! o I see him for the first time in 3 days. Will show him photo as they are fading daily.

Big Girl Banded- As far as I know I am healthy. I do bruise but not badly, I don't think! Usually. But they made for a great talking point when I returned to work yesterday!!!

Thanks to all for your concen.

You guys make my surgeon look like a butcher. My scar is so thick. It's been a year and a half and it's huge, raised, red and ugly

I would call your DR. and try to get in to see him or email him this picture. I am VARY fair skinned and bruise over everything, but had no bruising from surgery. You can see my scar picture from 1 week out at the top of page 16. I hope it is nothing and you heal quickly, but I would call just to be safe.

These are 10 days post op. The two biggest still have steristrips on them. I left my hand in the pic to give you an idea of relative size.

Hi All,

Here is my 1 day post-op pic, I do have two other incisions, one in my belly button and one under my boob.

I think they look great so far.

Let me try this again...sorry the other pic is so big!

I wanted to know how "fullon1au" was doing with her tummy?? Hope better. Eile

Thanks for your concern. I'm doing really well. I saw my surgeon on Sunday last. He wasn't concerned about the bruising. Didn't actually get into discussing them. They are slowly fading. Only the center one is still quite coloured.
