Looking fantastic that. You've got a mercedes scar mine is a reverse L what i call a Lexus scar lol. It was done by Dr Hildalgo i think it depends what surgeon you have. So glad everything is going great for you. Xxx 😁😁

Me again. Looking at your scar and it is completely different as mine comes all the way down from my bra line down to my belly button and then across to the right to my side. Amazing how different they are for the same operation. Weird isnt it. Lol. Xx 😁😁

It certainly is amazing how and why different surgeons do it differently but as long as we make it through all good x

Wow that's healing really well. For some reason I'm surprised how high up it is but thinking about it that's where it would be.

Well done Jojo. Downhill from this point on.

You're right about reassuring those waiting. The actual surgery and the wound is a worry for some people. Brave of you to show your neat and well healed scar.

Some get the Mercedes, mine is the Lexus - glad I didn't get the Subaru !
