As time nears closer for me to get the surgery I'm trying to figure out how I would disguise the scarring after I'm completely done. This would most likely be after Rod removal a year or so later. I thought depending on how bad the scarring is, I would first try laser resurfacing to make the scars look less noticeable. If that didn't work I was considering just tattooing over them to make it less visible. The idea came to me because I know some women do this to hide c-section or tummy tuck scars.

But hopefully if the doc does a great job at stitching me up, I won't really need to do any of that. So I just wanted know you guys thoughts on this. for those who've had the surgery or thinking of doing CLL would you consider getting tattoos to make the scars less noticeable? I already have some tattoos so it wouldn't be a big deal for me.

Great idea.  The best way to hide your scars.  Get linework over the actual scars for best concealment.
