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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
