Just wondering how people felt about scars? I came off my bike last week in a pretty bad accident. Fortunately the injuries were only cuts, broken nose and chip tooth. However the cuts are quite extensive and I needed about 40 stitches in my face. What’s everyones opinion?

I have some that pretty visible, I always get asked about them when I meet someone. But they are part of me so I'm not bothered nor would they put me off anyone. |

I’ve got a couple on my face, as above it tells a story. I was quite self conscious about one and that was only 12 stitches so I can understand your viewpoint. I’ve now learnt it makes you who you are, wouldn’t worry about it too much |

I have a large scar across my chin from a car accident over 40 years ago, when it happened and for years after I was very self conscious of it but now it's part of me and I rarely think about it, if people notice it they don't very often mention it.
So I say try not to be self conscious of it and accept it's part of you and your life. |

I don't have any, unless you count my appendix one but I am sure only the most superficial of people will have an issue and if they do they are obviously not for you. However, as you said fortunately it has not been worse. You need to give it time if it only just happened as sometimes things heal better than you expect and there are lots of products and procedures these days to help with that too. I am sure you will be fine, look after yourself and stay safe.  |

I think of scars like life tattoos. I have a huge scar on my torso, from hip to hip and all the way up the centre of my body. I  my scar, and nobody has been put off me by it.

I've huge scars due burns and skin grafts, fortunately not on my face. Yes I'm self conscious, especially if swimming or sunbathing..kids can be cruel.I can't change it,I often joke 'it's carpet burns '. |

Embrace what you have.
If people don't like then fuck 'em.
There is normally a good story to go with them or a good conversation as a result.
It depends if you don't mind being different. I have them & don't give them a moments thought...  |

I've had over 60 stitches in my face over the years, earliest about 30 years ago now. They have faded over time and now very rarely get noticed by others.
As mentioned above they all have a story to tell though if they are spotted  |

I have scars on my face from an accident about 15 years ago. They're only really visible in the summer when my face tans and they stay white. Only a few people have ever asked why they are there. Nothing to be ashamed off  |
