kimpossible67 608 Posted November 19, 2014 I have some nasty dark leg scars from a fall. A friend who is a PT says rub in cocoa butter and Vitamin e. He says it will take awhile but it works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimpossible67 608 Posted November 19, 2014 I gave up 25 years, 3 kids ago! Between the stretch marks, the gallbladder scars and the c sections AND the sleeve...it's pointless, lol. Plus I'll have a Tummy Tuck scar eventually too. Just battle wounds. I don't view them as gross, it's just a visual map of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BitterSweet* 835 Posted November 20, 2014 I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you have at least 75 lbs to lose, by the time you hit your goal weight the excess skin on your abdomen will be remarkable.......which is a really good thing. In the hands of an excellent plastic surgeon, all of that excess skin and the war wounds mapped out on it will be pulled down and cut off. I had stretch marks that reached 2 inches above my belly button and my plastic surgeon cut all of them off. I could not believe it. As much as we wish to avoid loose skin, the abdominal area is really where you want to have it if you plan on doing plastics at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aribay1 198 Posted November 20, 2014 I feel like I'm not too stretched out where I can't tighten my stomach. And my arms worries me when it comes to loose skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewLife'sGr8 241 Posted November 22, 2014 Bio oil is good too It's important to exfoliate first & regularly. I have so many scars now, I told my adult daughters they can now call me Scaaarrrrr (in my best pirate impersonation). They were not amused. But hey, I was pretty amused at myself & my newish lightheartedness about all my imperfections. I used to think I had to be as perfect as possible. All that did was dump upon myself, unnecessary stress. Re-framing my mind to accept and love myself as is has been pivotal to my growth as a human being. I still want to have PS- so I can be the best me possible, without the saggy skin. I know, it sounds contradictory. It's not. I just want to enjoy living again without spanks & such- too many layers, too long to get ready, & hiking myself back up into the garments throughout the day, especially in summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted November 22, 2014 My uncle swears by coconut oil. It made his knee surgery scars nearly disappear even years after his surgery. I'm a good "healer", so my scars just faded on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
