SummerEssence 130 Posted August 8, 2018 What are you using on your scars I’m 30-days away from surgery my sleeve and although, I have three grown children I never got stretch marks and I know I will have these scars, but I want to limit the visibility as much as possible. Share your regimen please. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,436 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I scar terribly so I consulted with my dermatologist and she suggested silicone Patches or sheets. I have not started yet because I'm lazy and no one sees my stomach lol Also I've thought about it for a bit and I'm pretty sure if I really wanted to speed up the disappearance of the scars I could use my prescription retinol cream on it.

Share your regimen please. Thanks in advance! I heard that Maderma is really good. My dermatologist reccommended it for a procedure I had but I never used it because my scar eventually faded. Research it and see what you think. 2 SummerEssence and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sillykitty 10,776 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I've done a quite a bit of research on scar treatment, as I plan to have plastics later this year. as @GreenTealael mentioned, silicone tape, or gels are universally recommended by cosmetic surgeons. They're the only treatment that has actually been clinically proven effective. I used silicone tape soon after the scabs came off. I used the tape consistently, up until about 2 weeks ago. All I have left are thin white lines with a small amount of light pink/purple around them (I am very fair). Most people wouldn't notice unless I pointed them out. This is what I used. I still have TONS left over for when I get plastics. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VE9AL8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited August 8, 2018 by sillykitty 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
