Looking good!  That's a lot smaller than my retrosigmoid scar:

But I have my BAHA about 4 or 5 weeks after surgery , you can see the trans-lab scar ..

Thank you, all of you, for posting your photos! It really helps to know what to expect. I think it'll be so much less traumatic for me now, because I'm prepared ahead of time. Thank you!

MMR,
I see that you are going to Mayo and using Dr. Link and Dr. Driscoll. I just met with them last week and have translab surgery scheduled for Feb. 22. Let's talk!

Thank you for posting the pictures. I was looking all over the internet when I was first diagnosed just to see what to expect. Thank you again--this was very helpful for me.
