Not-so-FrankenBelly.

 

It's looking better than I had ever hoped.  It's flat now, all the dimpling went away and it's (as you can see) nice and pink.  The doc says that will fade to white after a couple of months.

I'm very happy with it!

After looking at this one, I went back and looked at the other one you posted. What a difference!

The scar is very long, but it looks thin and smooth (and no puckering!). No worse than a long stretch mark (which you apparently don't have any of, you vile woman, hehe).

I think when it begins to fade and you get that tattoo no one will ever be able to tell that you've got that scar there.

It looks great, dharma!

I know!  It's waaaay better than i had thought it would be!

I do, just not on my belly.  I have a couple on my hips and a lot of little ones on the tops of my thighs.  The only time you can really tell that i have any is when I get a tan because then they stand out.  If I'm my usual pasty self you can't really see them.

That's what I'm hoping....I'm sooo happy with it, i can't even begin to tell you!

Haha, I'm going to post something briefly for you and then delete it.

Compare your tiny scar to my stretch marks:

Hehe...as you can see, I'm beyond pasty white, and my stretch marks are dark pink. And quite large. Gah.

Looks good!  So when are you going back to belly dancing?

I'm not.  I'm going to certify to teach yoga, though.  Once the back brace comes off and I'm through with therapy, I'm going to start a class.

I never saw it....can you email it to me instead?  And I don't think it's THAT bad...trust me.
