After both surgeries the biggest complaint I had was the scar from my port. As I have mentioned before, they had to place my port the day before I started chemotherapy and the incision never fully healed. So during my first surgery (double mastectomy with reconstruction) the surgeon removed the port and attempted to close my port incision. The tissue was so thin that it did not fully come back together and healed a little more open. Not terrible looking, however VERY sensitive. Sensitive even to the touch and to this day (over a year later) I have to wear my seatbelt under my arm because it rubs on the scar. Things that I have done to help with this over time are scar tissue massage, silicone strips and protecting it from the sun. The silicone strips are supposed to break down the scar tissue and help with the look of the scar, healing of the scar and also protect it from the sun. However, after wearing the silicone strips for approximately 2 months, I took one off and the incision/scar opened back up! Alright, nope. Done with those. It has gotten better with time, and hopefully continues to improve.
