Similar places to mine as we had same surgeon. The top one in the bra line wont be noticeable and bbutton wont be either but will have stitches which will irritate for 2-3 weeks till they fall out.
Ill post a pick of mine for you and we can compare lol

Hey Gang sozzicles
I have been so remiss in my posting again. I'm trying to catch up on everyone's diaries.
So here's what's been happening with me...
After being pampered for a week at mums, I went home and promptly spent 5 days mostly in bed watching the Angel box set.
I promised my mum and best friend Emma that I would take it easy, which is difficult for me. Luckily I was off work and only had two rehearsals Where I sat down when I needed to. The most difficult part was travelling to and from the sessions.
I had my 10 day post up shenanigans on Wednesday.
Took off my compression sock and my dressings. Finally got to look at my scars and they look great.
Then I got to have a BATH mmm heaven followed by a shower Wooh.
Thursday was back to work day. I work up an hour earlier than normal and I took 2 busses instead of the tube. Just so I could get to work and open up the theatre SLOWLY. It involve me climbing stairs all over the theatre to open the fire exits. The first day was a little twingey but now I'm finding it much easier.
This week is the first 'full' week and I have to keep telling myself to take it easily.
My mantra is "I look healed on the outside but I'm not healed on the inside"
Speaking of being healed. It's really hard to see my scars but here's a picture of my biggest scar the others are impossible to see the others lol.

Food wise:
The liquid phase went well. I didn't have as many calories as I wanted frankly because I could really be bothered. I'm sure once I get back to solid foods I'll be cooking up the calories no probs. Today is my first purée day. Yeuch not terribly excited about that either lol
Only 2 weeks to go. :0)
Tonight I'm having mashed potatoes/veg and maybe some cheeese.
Oh half fat cheddar how I have missed you.
Weight & Exercise:
I've lost 9 lbs since surgery. So by my calculations aprox 2 stone loss all told. I'm itching to start exercising. Luckily I am getting to dance a bit in my rehearsals for my show in a month (eek not great timing). But I tried to retrieve my phone after it dropped down the side of my bed. I ended up on my stomach floundering around like a beached whale it was quite painful but I couldn't get up. I have NO muscle tone in my stomach I couldn't support the equipment that's been added to my belly. A very good reminder that "I look healed on the outside but I'm not healed on the inside" lol patience is a virtue.

Argh! Toothache.
So dental hygiene hasn't always been my strong point, but all that lying in bed not brushing my teeth enough has consequences.
I have a dentist appointment in the morning. Luckily I'm not on solids yet so it hasn't changed my diet lol
I had some leftover co-codemol too so that has been handy.
I'm nearly up to 800 calories a day, which is good I guess.
I've been eating baby for but could only bring myself to try pure apples or pears no mushy meals.
I can't wait for solids but have to get this tooth fixed first. Ugh. :0(
