Frustr8 7,886 Posted January 1, 2019 Funny, been a little less than 4 months and I barely can see mine. I guess I won the skin scar lottery, after all. 1 drop the beat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzy1125 1,010 Posted January 1, 2019 they are so small, i wonder if you really need anything. I am only 7 weeks out and i can feel the scar tissue under the skin but barely can see the actual scars.. except for the one where they removed the stomach. 2 drop the beat and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swanton_Bomb 522 Posted January 1, 2019 I was lucky enough to have single port surgery through my bellybutton, but I have used Vitamin E (straight from the capsule, use a needle to puncture it) and Mederma with success for other scars. Microdermabrasion, peels and Retin-A can help as well, ask your dermatologist. 2 Frustr8 and drop the beat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sillykitty 10,776 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I'm super vain, so I did a lot of research about how to prevent and reduce scarring. Only silicone tape or gel has been clinically proven to reduce scarring. If you do any research on plastic surgery, using silicone tape is almost universally recommended. It has a long history of being used on burn patients. I used silicone tape, from Amazon. It was cheap, I still have tons left since you only use like an inch at a time, to cover all your little scars. I tried the gel, but it requires 2 or more applications a day. I'm too lazy for that. The scar tape last 3-6 days on me, through showers and everything. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VE9AL8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited January 2, 2019 by sillykitty 2 drop the beat and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
