How low is your scar?

Just curious? 

 

My scar is right where the hairs start to grow LOL, and it isnt straight either which bothers me. Has a curve to it!

Anyone else?

    Mine is where the hairs start also. I wouldn't want it any higher then that.

    Mine is right below where my hair grows. It's really short and thin also. I was very fortunate that it healed so well.

    My first scar is where the hair grows and its long goes all the way across. my second is about 2 inches above the first scar and also goes all the way across a few inches.

    Mine is maybe a 1/2 inch above the hairline, and is about 5 inches long.  Mine has a slight curve at the very end on one side which they followed again for c/s #2.  I'm an L&D nurse and have seen some horrible wavy incisions and ones that are like 10 inches long.  I'm happy with mine...it could be a lot worse!

    Mine is just above where the hairs start to grow. Pretty straight and lighter then my actual skin color now. You can see it but it doesn't bother me.

    Mine is about an inch below the hairline.  (It's super low which I hate, but that's a whole other story.)  It's about 10 inches across and curved.  It's still bright red 10 weeks out.  Hoping it doesn't turn into a keloid like the last one did.  Thankfully they cut out the old one when they did my second.

    About an inch below the hairline.  Maybe 6" long and very straight (typing that makes me feel pervy...).  It's a darkish red now, but hopefully it'll lighten a bit.

    Mine was this low also, but all the hair above and that directly below has fallen out.

    Mine is about 1/2 inch above where the hair is and maybe 5-6" long and straight.  It's still pretty pink but I don't mind the appearance at all.  It's my mommy badge of honor!

    Mine is the same, I wish it was lower though.  I wear super low undies and bikinis and you can still see it.  I hope it fades really well one day.

    Mine is the same way. Most of the scar has faded and only a small section is still discolored. I am very surprised because I was well-prepared for it to look hideous, but still wear it proudly.

    BTW, I love your siggy pic :)

    This, but now it's gone. It was cut out with my tummy tuck :)
