Perhaps the band appearance or depression I complained about before viewtopic.php?f=13&t=72040
was just part of the scar healing. What I see now is a narrow "bald" scar line remaining on my right side only which shows if I pull back my hair:

As you can see, most of the redness has faded, but this little hairless "path" remains; the left side scar is barley detectable, so no pics necessary. I'm sure the Doctor used a trichophytic closure all the way around as he did on the first two procedures, but why is the scar healing not uniform?

Prior to staple removal:

Is there any reason the hair would not grow back through the scar line as they did successfully on the first two procedures? I cannot find the first two scars no matter how hard I look. That's really the bottom line here.

Here are some 60-day post-op scar pics from the first procedure which are now undetectable:

I am now at 7 months post-op and the hairs have not grown through the scar yet. Doctor confirmed that he used tricophytic closure. WTF is going on??? Anyone?
