    I was born with a bone disease that caused my bones to mutate and I have bone tumors on every joint of my body. So yes, I have scars. I've had surgery 6 separate times, 9 tumors removed. None of my surgery scars are small. Left ankle, both knees, right ring finger, right chest, and right hip. I don't think they're sexy or attractive. They are there and there's nothing I can do about them though. The ones on my legs and finger are flat and healed well. The one on my chest (U shaped under my breast, exactly where the underwire of a bra goes) opened and didn't heal well post op and the last few inches of it as it goes toward my armpit are very puffy. The one on my hip (where thigh meets torso, right where the hip flexor is) is still wide and purplish. I also have an "X" shaped scar on my ribs where the chest tube was, but I have to admit I kinda like that one.

    I don't think my scars are attractive. But there's also nothing I can do about them. I've never had any complaints other than I don't like certain parts of my legs to be touched due to nerve damage.

    Scars add to character, and that is sexy.

    I have a scar on my left calf from getting stabbed with a butcher knife when I was 11 or 12. No one has ever told me its sexy.

    Do you try to hide it? This may be the point I was trying to make, while the scar itself may not be sexy the fact that you have it and flaunt it, carry yourself well in spite of it or generally live your life knowing it is there is incredibly sexy. Kinda like seeing someone go from shy to confident a confident version of any person, if not over-confident, is always going to attract more attention.

    Personally I don't think so . I have scars and severely hate them.

    My daughter is 6 years old, she has a scar ear to ear from 2 surgeries on her skull. She has asked me a couple times to try and cover it, I'm teaching her to be proud of it because it proves that she's a supergirl with super powers :heart:

    I have scars quite a few - one on my face from putting my face through the windsheild I have had it since my 20's - i also have scars from having breast cancer and a Lumpectomy. Do I like them no - do they define who I am NO. Like someone said they tell a story the journey of my life.

    Last Feb my daugther was in a car accident and airlifted for emergency surgery for a ruptured spleen the surgeon cut her from under her breastbone straight down to her groin she had a hugecar. I thought she would be devasted when she saw it. 6 months later I I asked her do you want me to get the name of a plastic surgeon or perhaps someone who does laser treatments, she said no Mom it's fine .

    Now coming from a 20 year old I think that is awesome!

    I have a 6 inch scar one side of my knee/leg and a 4 inch the other side. I dont think it's sexy in the slighest. I hate it. But it tells a story i suppose.

    "a scar simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you".

    I love my scars. Even the one that makes my one eyebrow all wonky. Every one has a story - a couple sad, a couple funny. They are part of who I am.

    :heart: that quote.

    I'm covered in them. My battle, and I won this round. I used to try to hide the one on my chest that shows in lower tops. But now, I let it show and don't hide it. It defines a big part of who I am.

    ^^ Hell yes! Scars show challenges people have faced, the damage they have endured and the vulnerabilities they now have. I have always had a bit of an attraction to them.

    I think they're neat. I like the way the skin changes, and how they feel. My BF has a small one between his eyebrows too like you OP.

    I don't hide it. I wear shorts/skirts/dresses. I don't talk about it though unless someone brings it up.

    I sure hope they are. A brick was thrown at my car and went through the windshield and hit me in the head while I was going 50mph. So yea... I'm sporting a big forehead scar. It broke my skull and eye socket and I needed neurosurgery. It is a VERY obvious scar. Since it is still a fresh scar I wear a hat to keep the sun off of it. So with a hat on and wearing my glasses no one notices. However, when I wear contacts and no hat I get a lot of looks. Right now I doubt they are, "Damn that is sexy!" but more like, "WTF happened to her face?!". So yea... that is my life -_-

    If they comment on your scar they are weird. If they comment on your butt they are pervs.
