SCARS: My top 5 Scar care top picks!
In an industry where beauty is skin deep, scars aren't considered pretty and many hide them. I've never been ashamed of mine, despite being "blessed" with keloid scarring (raised, dome-shaped scars.) I have 3: my chest, right arm and right groin and I go strapless JUST like any model on the RUNWAY!
Smiles for Miles! You can see the difference on each half of my scars. |
Back in June 1997 while I was 2 months pregnant, I was shot in the arm that left me with a bullet lodged in my chest today. I endured a 6-hour, life-saving surgery that required a bypass and a vein transferred from my groin, to my arm and chest.
I've call my scars my little "caterpillar's" but I'm sure not everyone shares my enthusiasm, lol! Many cover up their scars - I sure don't!
