Question:
HOW LONG UNTIL MY INCISION IS HEALED

I AM 3 WEEKS POST OP AND MY INCISION STILL FEELS RAW, AND SORE, IS THIS NORMAL? AND HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE I CAN WEAR MY CLOTHES (PANTS) OVER MY SCAR?    — APRIL P. (posted on April 1, 2002)

After I was able to remove the bandage around my incision, I began putting Aloe Vera cream on my incision. I've bought the Walgreens brand and it keeps the incision soft. I began wearing banding items about 2 weeks out. It was nothing real tight like panty hose, but I had to start getting used to it because I was going back to work. Just don't wear anything too tight.

At 4 weeks I could wear elastic banded pants with no discomfort. It was 5 weeks before I could wear my bra with no discomfort.
