7 weeks post surgery

More updated pictures as I heal.  My scar is starting to lay down and the bumpiness is going away.  The two flaps of skin Dr. Buchanan sewed back together are not the same length.  To pull them together and make it heal properly the skin has to almost be gathered together and sewn in place.  This results in some bumps.  And then the scar itself creates a ridge of tissue.  The only way to get the bumps to go away is time moisture and massage.  So every day.. honestly a few times a day I rub my scar with coconut oil.  I have seen my scar go from "Frankenstein like" to smoother and softening over the past few weeks.  It is far from perfect but I am confident that the bumps will lay down over time.  Coconut oil massage and time!

My Belly Button still looks angry and red!  It will probably be the last area to heal.  I rub coconut oil on it too!
