Scars after heart surgery

chargerman

I was in an accident before xmas and had to undergo heart surgery. I am greatful my life was safed but have an ugly 10 inch scar on my chest. Anyone else have a similar one? Would this be off putting when meeting new girls? Its 3 months old so still looks pretty raw

Scars are hot unless they hold painful memories, in this case it probably does.

Glad you're ok, bio oil might help.

Women love scars. I have a smaller one from heart surgery on my back any the women love it.

I don't know OP, are you usually topless when meeting new girls? What about old girls, do they not count?

I am happy you are ok now

My aunt has one after she had a triple bypass. That was a few years ago.

You could try using bio-oil, it's supposed to be good. And I know that sometimes massaging a scar can scatter the scar tissue and leave it less gathered (if ya get my drift).

Chicks dig scars..in fact you could use it as a chat up line..''My last gf ripped my heart out you wanna see the scars?''

My bro is late twenties and has scars all over his chest (pacemaker) and he never seems to have a problem with ladies. He used to be self conscious about it as a teen but I think he's over it. Don't let it bother you!

Or tell them you got it from rescuing a baby panda from a lion or something crazy

She wouldn't be the true girl for you if a scar bothered her so you'd be better off without her in that case.
Plus I can't see a scar as something that would put a girl off someone.
(They may be wary that your heart is weak and the long term implications of that but again pretty doubtful)
Bio oil is great by the way

Say it's from a shark attack, a tiger shark attack and it had lasers. It was about to attack an orphan and you had to save it.....and you send her birthday and xmas pressies every year.



..........both the orphan and the tiger shark, gotta show her you like animals too like :P

chargerman

Thanks guys,I have fully recovered and am going out on the town tomorrow night for the first time post op - not that I expect to meet a girl and show her my chest but am conscious of it all the same. These replies helped a lot

ITS_A_BADGER

The scar if anything will be an excuse for her to rub her hands all over your chest because she would be curious as to how you got it and could be a great opener for some sexytime! if your feeling confident even you could get her to give you a massage saying that you need to rub oil in it for it to heal properly. Your gonna be in clothes most of the time anyway so it will be hidden, i wouldnt worry about it man

smash

Cover it with a tattoo of a 10 inch penis!

Max Power

If you do meet a girl tell her the scar is from having your heart ripped out by your ex, she will then take pity and have sex with you.

Seriously, let the hair grow on your chest and don't be fretting.

Don't worry , some bio oil or cocoa butter and they will fade ..
If u are asked u will have a story to tell . A nice quote I heard “Scars are stories, history written on the body”

chargerman

Thanks again lads, ha this thread might even encourage me to go all out and re join the gym - again I quit over lads seeing the scars when I am showering/changing

Where To

A crocodile bit off seven inches of my willy. Luckily it's still working perfectly.

Senna

If I was you I'd be thinking up stories to freak people out,
"yeah I was buttering my toast one morning and the knife slipped",
"yeah, shaving accident",
"did you ever see the film alien......."

Not that I know what goes on in the men's changing room or anything but I would admire anyone I saw at the gym with visible scarring/injuries that was able & willing to work out.

I have a similar scar on my chest from heart surgery too. Had it since I was a baby.

And yes it is true. Chicks dig scars*

*provided you get into the situation where you are topless

It takes a while to get used to your scar. You become used to it though, and as it fades you forget about it.

I got a lovely tattoo from Thailand on my foot and ass. :rolleyes: I was quite paranoid people were looking at it all the time (well, the one on my foot!). Used to it now though, no-one looks.

Just say the magician's trick went arseways.

PhlegmyMoses

Anybody that doesn't want to go out with somebody because they have a scar on their chest or back or some **** is a ****ing moron and isn't worth being around.

I always make up insane stories to explain where I got certain scars from. "Well, let me tell you, that's a day that no-one in the library will ever forget! We've still never figured out where the bear even came from, but there I was, in the romance aisle, with nothing but a Barbara Cartland and my knowledge of the dewey decimal system to protect me."

Normal people won't mind the scars, and will be concerned more than anything. If you're very worried about longer term looks, and can afford it, Crème de la Mer is very good (but with a price tag to make your eyes water).

johnayo

Tell her.......I'll show you mine if you show me yours......

Crasp

don't mind those bio-oil or other things, they won't touch a scar. Or at least they are not proven to, I should say.

most scars heal pretty well and I've never known anyone in my whole life who would give a **** about someone elses scar. we all have scars from sometihng or other, just cos you's is a little bigger it shouldn't make a difference, no need to be self conscious imo. Is it a clean surgical scar or was it a traumatic wound? A surgical scar should fade fairly well!

dave98

Don't let the scar bother you, be proud of what you have come through

Fizman

I collapsed my lung twice before and had to get corrective surgery. Technically I have 4 scars, each one resembles a bullet hole. Each with their own story.

1 is from Vietnam.
1 is from the American Civil War.
1 is from the Cold War.
1 is from the Battle of the Boyne.

Rasmus

Sorry to hear about your accident OP but good news that you are on the mend. Do not worry a tap about that scar - there isn't a woman on the planet who doesn't like war-wounds on a lad!

OP, this is how you get the girls!! ^^^

You hit the jackpot when the girl says she has one under her boob.

Meangadh

Honestly OP I'd think it was pretty cool- not that you'd had to have surgery, but that you survived it and that you're doing well. So many other people out there bitching and moaning with flip all wrong with them and here's you having gone through a genuinely bad-ass thing... that's kinda hot in my book

See, chicks dig scars!

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Glad you are ok dude.

Don't worry about the scar. As most people have said, it could be a cool conversation starter etc.

Also, chicks do dig scars, it's why Emo's cut themselves.

hairyprincess

Any girl worth her salt would not be put off a guy with a scar after having life saving surgery; but if she is, then she's not the girl you need in your life

I love scars, I know it's pretty superficial but they're a big plus for me.

Yeah, at least wait until you're in bed before mentioning them and say something like:
"My ex used to stick her tongue out at that point and mini-motorboat them."

flynnlives

i kinda want a scar now

Doc Ruby

I've loads of scars that I don't even need to make up insane excuses for, the real reasons are insane enough, women love them. Just tell her you leapt on a grenade or something.

humbert

As long as they are not on your face, you are fine. I've two ~6 inch scars down my right arm and they are just a story to tell. Coincidently I got mine saving baby orphans from sharks.

I've two on my face and one on my right hand (yes picked up in three seperate incidents), never seems to bother anyone.

Nothing wrong with scars on the face!

Ah, didn't mean to suggest there was; it's just the only part of you uncovered in daily life but, as I say, it more often evokes interest than discomfort.

Ew, scars are disgusting.













Not really, they're pretty cool. I've got no bellybutton because of a scar.
