Elode 8,093 Posted November 10, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted November 11, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does/did anyone else use anything and did it help? 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.

S(he) be(lie)ve(d) 151 Posted November 11, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 11, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
