Scar cream anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm just wondering if anyone uses any thing on the surgery scars? My husband bought me Mederma advanced and Vitamin E oil. I just had surgery A week ago but I put it on. It's not like I'm going to be competing in any bikini contest but it would be nice to have them so visible. Does/did anyone else use anything and did it help?

You might try Jergens "skin firming". It was recommended to me by a friend. You might also look it up on Amazon.com and read the reviews to see if it might be for you.

Scarfade gel. It's not cheap. a tube runs about $50, but it does work. I first used it for facial scars I had from shingles.

FYI- the edit button is invisible. Hoover your cursor to the left of the quote buttons and it will appear.

I get a prescription cream from my dermatologist, since I get horrible scars that need a little help to fade away. My body produces excess collogen when it heals. Not fun. For me, it's cheaper to get a prescription, than it is to buy over the counter. When I've tried Mederma, it actually irritated my scars. I asked my hubby if scars bothered him at all. He said, "I dig chicks with scars." Love him! <3

My dermatologist prescribed the scarfade gel but said most insurances don't cover it. I tend to keloid and was really self conscious because the shingles literally ate holes into my face.

It was. Shingles is painful facial shingles is even worse because the skin on your face is thinner.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
