I'll be honest, I havn't had time to consider my own scars much yet. I'm fortunate - all but one can be covered with cosmetics fairly easily and the last one with clothing.

But you are asking the wrong question, I think. People are always going to experience a response to seeing something that doesn't look right. And your being concerned about that response has very little to do with any scars and far more to do with feeling responsible for making people uncomfortable. The former isn't going to change. The latter might, but caring about people's comfort less is not in itself a change for the better.

Perhaps it might be more appropriate to ask if that part of your body will truly feel like yours again. So that people seeing it would see a part of you and not a part of something horrible.

Or perhaps I am projecting. That is entirely possible.
