Woman Seeks Advice for Abdominoplasty Scar Beach Anxiety

Perhaps this is a silly question, but still... Nearly a year ago, I decided to have an abdominoplasty. I'm completely satisfied with the results, pleased. BUT! There's a visible scar left. ☹️ It's quite thin and not rough, but it still bothers me. So, soon it's holiday and beach season, bikinis... And I'm embarrassed by this scar, that's all there is to it. I can't buy a proper swimsuit, damn. ☹️ For some reason, I have this strong feeling that as soon as everyone sees this scar *and it will be visible in an open swimsuit*, they'll start laughing, judging. I haven't even had a child yet, the sagging skin - the fault of a rapid weight loss, my semi-starvation diet that is. ☹️ So, if you saw a girl with a scar on the beach, what would your reaction be?

That's fine! Scars are decorations, I believe 😊 I have a big scar on my shin, and how silly I was to get it - when I shaved my legs for the first time, I cut off a piece of skin! I was even afraid to show my mum, it was festering, I was applying some creams on it myself... In the end, a scar, about a cm wide, and about 10 cm long 😊 And it's fine, I even like it now, I don't even think about hiding it 😊 As for its origin, let them think what they want 😊

The author, I believe, is far from the mark to assume that everyone on the beach has a medical education, to understand exactly where your scar comes from. It could be mistaken for anything (caesarean, appendicitis, kidneys etc.). And there's no need to say that scars are located in different places and don't look alike - people are unlikely to figure this out.

OP, why are you making a fuss, I don't understand? You say that your scar is thin and not rough. I also had abdominoplasty, but the scar remained very ugly, as the stitches came apart (my fault), they sewed it up again, and adhesions formed. But I calmly wear a bikini, and absolutely nothing can be seen in them! What kind of swimsuit do you have if the seam is visible in it?
