cbwalker79 187 Posted March 31, 2014 I know this seems very vain however, can anyone tell me when they started to see their scars fade and what did you use to make them go away? I know everyone's skin is different!!! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure how fast mine started to fade, but at 15 months post-op, my 4 small incisions look like (dime sized) faded freckles. The big incision is very faded (compared to right after surgery) and just looks like someone made a 2 inch horizontal line on my stomach with a brown highlighter! :-P Here's the big scar, the small ones don't even show up when I try to take a pic.

Iambeautiful 100 Posted April 1, 2014 I had my sleeve done laporoscopic surgery on Feb 26... I can hardly see the tiny marks from the surgery... I wouldn't even call them scars at all....... the only ones that are darker are the two tiny marks on my navel.... that really aren't noticable and even if i ever got thin enough to wear low wasted pants and short tops ( mid drift) exposing my abdoment people would probably just think that the marks if they are stil there on either side of my navel might be from a belly button ring piercing LOL...... My doc is an excellent surgeon .... he did a wondeful job and didn't make my abdoment look scarred up.... 1 cbwalker79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gypsygirl70 14 Posted April 1, 2014 Vitamin E oil can help fade scars but the incision must be completely closed 1 cbwalker79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texasmeg 568 Posted April 2, 2014 I used Maderma, but at 3 mos. the scars are still pretty visible (especially the big one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbwalker79 187 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm using Maderma but it's so darn expensive for such a little tube the scars will never fade without breaking the bank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seela 1,187 Posted April 3, 2014 My big scar is raised and puffy, that runs in my family. If I ever have a bikini body I'll just tell people I was stabbed... they'll think I'm tough lol... 4 cbwalker79, hatters, TheOldMeAgain and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazzygal 39 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm using Maderma but it's so darn expensive for such a little tube the scars will never fade without breaking the bank Bio oil and Vitamin E cream are great, affordable options. My friends who just had babies rave about bio oil. Good luck! I like the stabbing idea lol! I scar badly. I had a small, benign tumour cut out of my back and the scar it twice the size of the tumour! It looks like a bullet scar, so I tell people my partner shot me when it tried to leave! He's a darling btw lol 1 msfitn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommyof3sweetboys 67 Posted April 4, 2014 I hope mine will fade with time....the other day my mom was looking at my belly and told me it looked like I had been stabbed multiple times. Not exactly the look I want to have! 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unbesleevable1 420 Posted April 7, 2014 Im grateful for my stab wounds. They remind me what I've committed to. I am about 5 months out and they're starting to fade. I don't put anything special on them, as my skin tends to heal pretty well. 1 mommyof3sweetboys reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
