I appreciate I have only been post-op for the past three weeks, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen from open surgery, and also if there is anyone out there who has been out for a little longer who can say if the scar does actually become a white scar, which although is obviously going to be visible, is not something that stands out and especially not to the extent that is does now. It would just be a shame to have a nice body after all this but not to be able to show it off!!!!!
