Hi.,...most members that have had surgery have them posted on their profile page....some, like myself require us to be friends for the pics to be visible...so if we are not friends yet send me a friend request and you will be able to see mine.
Each Dr is different in how much hair they shave off and sometimes it will depend on us, the patient how much may need to be removed.....as in my case, I also had tissue harvested for my dura patch so the area shaved was larger then most as was my scar,, but I did not have staples for the same reasons as needed the tissue harvested so my scar does not look that much like a zipper....
Where do we go to see photos of scars? I have an appt w Dr Frim and haven't decided about surgery, and of course the scar is the least of my concerns, but the vain part of me wants to know what to be prepared for.
I was fascinated by the incision. Mine was very straight and healed at a good rate so far. (My surgery was 3 months ago. Being a "Zipperhead" gives you the advantage of finding people like you and knowing that you are not alone.
PS I grew up in the Philadelphia area. On South Street, there is a store that is called Zipperhead. I have been away from the area for a long time but I wonder if the name has any significance for the owner?
Hi...yes that is what it is called bcuz of the staples it resembles a zipper....we refer to ourselves as zipperheads,....
Most of us do have pics of our scars ...take a look....it will be covered by your hair once it grows back.
