Oh, that was much quicker than I anticipated! I thought it would take months for my incision to fully close, but it only took a couple weeks. I guess it made a big difference that the opening after port removal was much smaller than the opening after port placement.
Here's what it looks like now:
It's prominent enough that I'm thinking of trying some scar-reducing cream on it. During chemo, my port nurse recommended Mederma. There's a whole line of products, I'm thinking of trying both the daily scar gel and the overnight scar cream.
I'll definitely be interested to hear what products/method worked best for you and the scar!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know! It's my first time trying to make a scar look better. It's hard because the scar cream instructions say it could take 2-6 months to see results, so it's weird putting something on every day and not even knowing if it's working.
