This is what it looks like to honour your body while it rebuilds itself 🤎
My surgery was on July 22, 2025. These photos show just how beautifully the body evolves when we give it the support, patience, and nourishment it deserves.
Because this scar sits on my breast, it naturally lives in movement — breathing, posture shifts, daily activity, even gravity. That gentle pulling and stretching is part of the story. This is why scars can look more textured or widened at this stage… not because something is “wrong,” but because healing is alive here.
Between 6–16 weeks post-surgery, the body enters its powerful remodelling phase (and in my opinion, even longer the 16 weeks):
— Early collagen softens and strengthens into more structured fibers.
— Redness signals blood flow, nutrients, and oxygen arriving to rebuild (so I’m very happy with the redness at the moment!!) ❤️
— This is often when scars look their most dramatic — and also when the most transformation is happening beneath the surface.
Every gentle massage, scar tape, product absorb, every moment I bring warmth and circulation to this area it’s guiding collagen, softening tension, and allowing this scar to settle into its final, softened form.
Over the next few months, as collagen realigns and blood vessels slowly recede, the scar will continue to flatten, fade, and soften. Healing isn’t linear, and it’s never about chasing “perfect.”
✨ This is what healing looks like when it’s met with trust instead of urgency, to understand your body rather than fight it.
If you’re on your own healing journey right now, I want you to know: your body is working with you, not against you 🤎
