[quote=Anonymous]I had chest surgery at age 12 and have a large scar. My mom made a big deal of dressing me to hide it, talking about what I couldn't wear -- don't do that. It's ok for your DD to "grieve" her scar-less skin but help her move on and feel normal about it. Everybody who has lived a while has scars. Also, it will look bad at first (red and puffy) but over time it will settle down and fade. Maybe find photos online of how scars age. Sun protection and Mederma will help it fade as much as possible. [/quote]
