1. Successful reversal stories are really helpful for others who are considering or waiting for their own reversals. Sharing updates and staying active in the community can provide support and encouragement to others.

2. Many people view surgical scars as "battle scars" that should be worn with pride. They can be seen as conversation starters and positive reminders of the journey to recovery.

3. It's a good idea to apply sunscreen to the scar when it's exposed to the sun to protect it.
