Chest surgery no compete?

[Pirate12]

I had chest surgery several years ago and wonder if the scaring will prohibit me from amateur competition. I also wonder if there are any contest for people who have never competed and are not as built as the pros. From what I have seen it is hard to tell the amateurs from the pros in many cases.

My progress is like a little league ball player against a MLB guy. But there are contest for little leaguers .....

no, a dark tan will fade the scar away

I've competed in figure with my scars... the tan hides a multitude and the judges really don't look at that stuff anyways...

I have a large scar down my abdomen. Competed twice and placed both times...it shouldn't affect your placing unless it causes your symmetry to be off.
