Unfortunately any remedy someone suggests will just be a recommendation w/out guarantees. No product guarantees their results.

I just had cosmetic surgery. It was my #1 question as well and the dr's and cosmotologist both agreed that you can use things like vit E, biooil, mederma etc but it's a 50/50 shot.

However, I also learned that if you have had previous incisions, you can predict how future incisions will heal based on those old scars. So I have had 3 c/s scars that are super faint and should assume all my other scars will result in the same appearance.

I tried using Mederma for a while, but it really hasn't done anything for the color of my scars. They are still a bright pink.

I know that scars fade over time, my son had some pretty horrific ones on his back from injuries, it took a couple of years but they finally faded to more of a skin color.

If anyone has any other idea's though, I might be willing to give em a try!

All I know is when I was pregnant 30 yrs. ago with my first ,then my other 2 I would use coco butter and Vitamin E. it helped to rub it on my belly and ars when they itched and I have really faint stretch marks from that and yo yo dieting , like zi said people that see my scars say oh you can barley see the scars or stretch marks so I guees it helped at least with me there is also a scar cream but I forgot what it is called but type in scar cream and there will probally be a site so all I know is what helped me in the past , well good luck on finding something, that orks for you.

My husband had his spine rebuilt last year and they went in through the front -- a 17" belly scar. He used Vitamin E and that has worked well for him. Trader Joe's makes a nice one that isn't too sticky (and no sticker shock either).

I have used cold pressed Coconut oil and it has seemingly helped. I'm 4.5 years post band though. I don't heal well ordinarily and I scar easy. But they've faded nicely and now that I've lost some significant weight they are really looking better. You might try mixing the Coconut oil and Vit E oil together. I take the Vit E by mouth as well.
