Moni,

Everyone is going to be different in recovery, I know that's kind of a cop out answer but it's true. If you haven't had radiation then it'll be shorter. I've had a ND as well as a follow up surgery that had to reopen the original incision, so my scar is pretty impressive. It looks like I've had my throat cut in a a knife fight. As a guy, I think it's pretty cool and gives me different stories to tell when asked what happened to me. I've seen others on women that were barely noticeable.
