Incision scars

[coolmamma73 129]

What are you using to help heal/fade the scars? I am thinking of using Maderma. I have also heard of bio oil.

Anyone have advice?? Thanks!

I am using bio oil and I think its helping. Just the scar where I had the drain is still quite dark in colour but the others are quite good now. I'm 2 months out.

After almost 9 months I'd say don't spend a bunch of money on magic creams or lotions. Staying well hydrated & nourish your body properly and time will do the work.

All I've really used is cheap stuff. I have a jar of "Utterly Smooth" utter cream that I bought last winter for my hands. I've used it a couple times a week on my incisions and they are fairly unnoticeable now. I'd imagine if I'd used it daily they'd be nearly undetectable by now.

I am so pale mine are pretty dark. They don't bother me much.

I'm six months out and I used mederma faithfully for the first four months or so. Since then I've just been using olive oil because the mederma is so expensive and it didn't seem to be helping much at all. Actually I've noticed a lot more improvement since I switched to the olive oil. At six months out, my scars are still quite dark and noticeable. I'm also very pale skinned so I imagine that has something to do with it.

How are you doing these days anyway??

I used Maderma too and really didnt see any results. Though I will say, that the scars are barely noticeable now after nearly 3 years.

I haven't had my sleeve yet so I can't sisal to that. But, in '06 I did have my galblader removed laproscopically. I didn't do anything to the incisions except take care of myself (nourish my body) and my incisions are virtually unnoticeable. They are a whiteish-skin tone. I've never heard of the one product but I have heard good things about bio-silk type products. GL!

I did ZERO to my gallbladder incisions 5 year ago- it's so hard to see the scars now- I had trouble actually finding one to show someone (they were having it done and were curious as to what it would look like).
