Where do you draw the line?

So now I'm stuck with trying to figure out where I want the surgeon to place my scar for the Abdominoplasty.  At the pre-op, they said to bring in your favorite bikini, etc and they can work from there.  I busted out laughing! Even in my thinner days, I didn't have the nerve to wear a bikini.  Ok, now things just got difficult.

 

I won't lie.  I do have bikini bottoms that I wear with my bathing suit tops, but they cover the top portion of the bottom so my stomach doesn't show. But to think that I'll actually be able to wear stuff like that…and now, at age 46, I have the moxie and the attitude…you know, the "I don't give an eff" attitude and I'm not about impressing anyone.

 

So last night I was parading in front of the mirror with the bottoms trying to figure out where the line should be. I don't want it too high, but I don't want it so low so the scar peeks below the differing styles of bottoms and underwear. I took out a pair of red lace panties that I think will probably work and then I put the bikini bottoms underneath the red lace to see if I was still on target.  I think I am, but it's a daunting prospect because this scar will not be moving afterward…well except downward with age, I'm sure.

 

If any of you have any advice, please let me know. 

 

P.S.  When I first started looking for blogs to read, one of the ones I followed religiously was lisetheloser.com.  Like all the ones I follow, she's pretty blunt and down to earth. She's back to blogging again and had some setbacks due to her band replacement so check out her site again.  I gotta tell you, her photos are inspirational and helped me visualize the person that I could be.  I need to post more pics, don't I?
