jrockwood 7 Posted December 29, 2012 Is it normal for my scars to be really pink? I am almost 2 months out. My port incision has raised also. Will the color and scars fade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tym4me 206 Posted December 29, 2012 Yes they will fade. My surgeon said it would take 6months or so. And alittle over a year out and alot of coco butter later my scar are barely visible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BayougirlMrsS 3,935 Posted January 2, 2013 let me save you all a lot of money.... all you need is a good moisturizer or some 100% vit. E oil.... then give it some time..... time heals all....

PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted January 2, 2013 I agree with Bayou, I too spend a lot of money on great lotions because I have a 6 inch scar on my hip where it was replaced. I purchased an Italian Almond Milk Lotion and swear it did wonders, my scar is invisible. Now, my lapband incisions, I have just been using lotions with aloe/vitamin E I have here at my house. anything really, just moistures. rubbing on daily, Another key is to drink a lot of Water, you would be surprised what Water can do for the body Here is my before and after pics of my incisions... first pic is taking 2 days after surgery, the other one is 2 days ago on 12/31/2012 Only 5 months out remarkable healing I think.... BTW, these pics of are me 'laying' down on my bed, I wish my stomache was this flat standing up, LOLOLOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrockwood 7 Posted January 3, 2013 I have Vitamin E oil so I guess I will just stick with it. I just don't remember my thyroid scar being this red/pink 2 months after so I am a little nervous. Parttygirl I also wish my stomach was that flat but hey we will get there some day!! 1 PattyGirl66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
