Passing techniques may be used temporarily. Sometimes women get used to the visible traces of their implant and decide to stop hiding them:People so far only stare at my scar, but if they ask I tell them and I don’t care, they can think whatever they want about my scar… All my shirts are low cut, at first I was hiding my scar but now it’s a part of me and if people don’t accept that they are really stupid. (SCA 134 December 2009)
As I shall argue below, online communities may be very helpful in supporting women to find ways of appropriating their scarred bodies other than concealing them in public.
