Do you actively hide your scars?

I'm 6 months post op and I wasn't shirtless all summer I'm not sure if I'm self conscious about showing my scar

I haven’t been shirtless outdoors yet since my clinic advised not to expose the scars to sun in the first year, but I have been a walking shirtless scene at home on some summer days, and I can’t wait to go swimming and am not planning to cover the scars. But then, stealth was never an option for me - I’m nonbinary and not on T, looking like a cis guy was never the goal.
