Scar Face

surgical scar

The stitches were taken out of my left temple surgical site on Thursday. It was quick, easy and painless. I was in and out of the office in less than ten minutes. My only instruction for post-op at this point is to keep  putting vaseline or something similar on it for one more week. I'll be glad when that's done as it makes my hair greasy.

The swelling has gone down a lot over the past week, and the bruise has lightened. The bottom part of the scar is still puffy, but I am hoping that it will continue to flatten out. The surgeon said it can take a year to settle completely down. I guess I'm lucky that it is located so close to my hairline as I can probably cover it somewhat with my hair.
