DMX, Flat (no reconstruction) and Loving it

Before surgery, I was made fully aware that my wound closure might be a problem due to a pre existing medical condition which affects my connective tissue. I was not an ideal candidate for any type of reconstruction due to the fact that my skin would be more prone to either not healing well, or healing too well and producing excess scar tissue. I explained that I didn't in any event want that, and was happy to remain flat. I think my surgeon was quite surprised as her reply was,'"Oh good...I just automatically assumed that you would want reconstruction". After that, she never mentioned this, that, or the next type of scar, just that after surgery, I would have a surgical vacuum dressing to aid healing. This photo was taken about five years after my surgery and I've gained some weight in that time and that has resulted in a somewhat bumpy on the sides result as fat can't form under scar tissue, but only on either side of it. In the beginning, I always wore both my prosthetics when leaving the house, now I don't bother at all. If I was going to say, a wedding, or somesuch, I probably would, but otherwise I just go flat and fabulous.
