get my scar fixed

I’ve had a scar on my stomach since the age of 11 due to a scar tissue complication from a surgery i had as a baby. I have dealt with it since then but it still really bugs me sometimes. I am self conscious of my body even though i work out all the time and i am very guarded about who i tell. My last few boyfriends didn’t seem to care but I still felt a little self conscious about it sometimes and talk about a mood killer haha. ANother thing that drives me crazy is every summer when there are girls trotting aroudn in bikinis and i have to hide my stomach because i dont want people to stare and I have to explain it. I understand people are curious but it isn’t any fun to be treated liek a circus animal. I know it seems very superficial and tons of people have told me oh its not that bad don’t worry…but they have no idea its not on their body they don’t understand. jsut sometimes it gets to me and i want to be like everyone else and not have to worry about whether my stomach shows in yoga or which bathing suit will cover it. This scar revision is something i have always wanted to do and a few months ago i saw a plastic surgeon who said he has a solution that will at least help minimize the appearance some what. I researched and researched him and one of our family friends has been to him and had rave reviews. YAY theres hope! Over the years i have seen several specialists who either said no way its too complicated or you will have to get fat first so that we can do a tummy tuck and then revise the scar after that…no thanks. SO there is light at the end of the tunnel with this new doctor and I’m hoping that I will soon have a stomach that i wont be scared to expose. I know it will nevr go away completely I get that, but all im asking for is a little improvement :) 2 years ago

I accidentally set myself on fire while wearing a tu-tu. The net set alight on my scented candles and i have been left with a scar the shape of Australia on my bottom and about 6 others on my right leg. They are making me feel very unattractive to the point i hate myself when i look at myself in a dress a pair of shorts or just anything shorter than ankle length! I am also getting married next year and the thought of my hideous looking legs in a bikini is making me want to cry. What can i do??? Bio oil just isn’t quick enough and am not sure it will remove them! :( 3 years ago

About 7 months ago I was pushed onto cement while running causing two gashes to appear on my right leg.One was rather large but shallow and only left a small purple line while the other was small but VERY deep and it left a round purple scar.I HATE IT.Not being ble to wear shorts or even show my knee is horrible.It is mostly for cosemetic reasons that I hate it, though if I ever hit my right knee against something it hurts 30 times more than it normally would.I’ve seen a doctor about it only once and was informed that in years to come the color would turn white.I don;t want to wait years to maybe have my purple scar turn white.I’m looking into something I could do to make it smaller, I can only hope this horrible thing gets better. 4 years ago
