Rolltide87 62 Posted January 2, 2020 My incisions are healed... But they're sensitive and so they hurt sometimes and idk why ?!?! And does anyone have any suggestions on treating the scarring to have them fade?? Thanks !Sent from my moto g(7) supra using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S@ssen@ch 745 Posted January 2, 2020 My incisions were VERY slow to heal. It seemed that they were pink and sensitive for MONTHS! Once my scabs were gone, I started applying BioOil every day. Today, they're barely noticeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynda486 784 Posted January 2, 2020 I have eight scars and haven't treated them at all and they are fading fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted January 2, 2020 I used Bio-Oil on them for the first six months post-op and now they are still there but very faded and small. I think it helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I tested myy method on two of the four scars (didn't bother about the fifth one - it's only 3mm and not showing), the two I buttered up are very nice and gone. The others are not. So about a week ago I started treating the 2 last ones. The retinol "breaks" it up, if one could say that. Its's like all red and fresh, and it has closed a lot more after the "breakup". I have faith😂 Is the retinol something you can buy at any store ? Ugh I need to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolltide87 62 Posted January 3, 2020 2 minutes ago, MsMocie said: Yes, you can. Retinol or tretinol. You can buy products over the counter in any salon or pharmacy/drug store. Look for the ones with 0,1 or more retinol in them. Salon products are usually very expensive. I paid almost 200 USD for a ZO retinol regime before christmas. And then I found out I could buy it at the pharmacy for like 15 USD😂 In my country you can get retinol or tretinol prescribed by the doctor as well. It is just a fancy word for Vitamin A-acid. Yes, acid - that's what it is. Oh my! I think I found some for $19usd 😊 I couldn't imagine the $200 ahhh I'm so sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
