Although I have purposefully chosen my display picture to be one that with the light, looks like I have normal, flattened scars, I have developed keloid scars. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
I know it is more common in people with darker skin, and being mixed raced (and having formed a small keloid scar years ago from a piercing) I was expecting it. To be fair, with my left side scar, almost 2inches of it is flat, but the rest is more prominent. One part of my right scar is like thick pinky-purple cord. Im just abit self conscious of it.
I spent 3 months doing no exercise at all, in an attempt not to stretch the scars.
I know over time they may calm down and fade abit, but I do accept they wont ever go away.
My other point of slight self consciousness, is my left nipple, well, areola, has stretched, lengthways too the point it is about 1cm longer than pre op! :/ I have spoken to who I see at my clinic and she has agreed we can discuss having a revision, so thatll sort that badboy out.
