Stretchmarks and Surgery Scar Removal Creams



Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I was wondering what you guys have been using on our new hot bods to get rid of the stretchmarks and the scarring from surgery.

My surgeon told me to start using a cream but i have NO idea what to try.

HELP :)

I have not had luck with maderma, but my son got bit by a dog in the face few years ago he was 10 and he has no visible scars at all.

Now when I used it, did nothing for me. Not sure if because of my age or what.

And the stuff isn't cheap

I've been using essential oils and coconut oil to prevent sagging skin & stretch marks. Not sure about the scars - they aren't too bad and I will never wear a bikini so that part doesn't matter much to me.

My doctor told me to use Vitamin E, so I did. It works. I used scar sheets also, I got them from Walmart and cut them in half. They totally help also.

I am using bio oil now. I only have one noticeable scar.

Vitamin E oil. I have been using it since post op day 1. My scars are visable but its only been 6 weeks. Just make sure to put something over them if you go tanning, because that makes them darker =/

Has anyone tried these on scars from plastic surgery on their arms? My biggest problem with saggy skin is my arms, but I hear that it is not worth getting the plastic surgery because of the scars.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
