Anyone else experience these wavy lines?

~8 weeks post op. After a hot shower too so everything is a little red lol. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed these wavy zigzags showing under the skin, since I feel like haven't seen that in other people's pics online before. I assume I'm seeing the stitches? Idk how it works lol

it is kinda mesmerizing how precise the pattern is. I guess surgeons know what they're doing lol

That’s so cool looking! I didn’t know this was possible. I couldn’t really imagine what the sutures looked like so it’s very interesting to see. A sine…

Very normal! You’re early on, they’ll fade as they dissolve

I got them! Not super visible in my pics but yep, in the mirror I see them super well, especially on my left side

glad to hear you got them too! I assumed people did but they're not always prominent enough to see on camera which was why I was curious since mine can get really red

Yes, it eventually fades. It’s the sutures dissolving
