Stitches

Had my 2 week follow up and the doctor is very happy with everything, also commented on how I had no swelling yet...I love my results and all the pain is worth it all. 

I know they use stitches to do the muscle repair but I also thought I had stitches outside my incision under the sterile strips.  I was surprised when he said I don't have any stitches on the outside at all.  I keep learning more and more everyday lol.

Can someone please tell me how to put pictures on here??

On the blue bar hover your mouse over "My OH" and a menu will appear, click "Photos". Then there should be a button on the upper right hand corner that says 'add photos'. Just know where they're located on your computer so when you press 'browse' you can find them. ALSO be sure to set the privacy settings. Otherwise they're all public by default. So if you want them only viewable by friends, you can click that setting if you want.

Weird, I always thought there would be stitches on the outside too. Well hopefully it'll mean you have an even tinier scar!!!

Hi
I was surprised too that I had no stitches on the outside but i noticed my scar is so thin and small it looks more like a scratch than a scar.  It's amazing how they do things nowadays.  I'm 5 weeks out and it looks so good I imagine a year from now it will barely be visible.
