puckering or gathering stitches?
I seem to have a big pucker or gathering at the end of my incisions. I asked and the doc said they would flatten out later. I cannot see this happening on its own. Has anyone else had this? It at the top of my inner thigh and looks awful. I know being only two weeks out is not long enough to see final results but I am worried it should look better. I am also not to happy with my eyes. I still have bags under them and I paid a lot to not have them Am I too impatient?

I have what I call "puckering" around my pubic area scar line. My anchor cut tummy tuck was in Nov and the horizontal scar line is very nice and straight on the ends and across until you get to the top of the pubic area. I'm a little disappointed but I figure he had a lot to excess to take in that area and he did the best he could.

I had it on each of my hips from my LBL. I was really not liking it and was going to ask if he could do anything to correct it when he did my MTL & BA/BL. However when I went in for that 3 months later they were flatened outand I'm happy w/ how they look. I have a little bit of it on the MTL scar but I'm going to wait a few months to see if the same thing happens, I'm sure it will especially since there is a lot less skin there than was on my hips.

I had a small armpit lift, and the first time I saw the scar I thought yikes! I had no idea how I would every shave my pits again because it was so puckered, and worse in one arm than the other. After a few more weeks and using silicone scar sheets, my scars are almost perfectly flat. I'm at six weeks now.

katie!
I know this question has been asked 100's of times, but where did you get your silicone strips and what is the name of them? Dr S sent me an email and said I can start using them next Wednesday (at the 4 weeks mark)
Thanks!

My scars are looking very good, but of course they are going through the typical healing cycle. They are still very thin and flat, but they are turning very dark red. I can't wait till they start to fade! My nipple scars change every single day, so I don't know what to think of them yet. There is a little puckering there, but I imagine it will fade in time.
How have you been?
