What did you use on your scars?

Ivegotboobies · 01-19-2009, 05:58 PM

I am currently using scar guard and silicone scar sheets. I have very fair skin so I will probably be using it for a while. It seems to be doing the job so far.

I plan on using the silicone sheets also. I too have fair skin and have heard that scars can be more noticeable w/ lighter coloring. We will see. Good luck!

My PS gave me a bottle of scar guard and it seems to have helped. It doesn't look like I'll need to use anything else.

I'm about 2 weeks post-op and have been using Mederma as often as I can remember. My scars are still very raised and visible, so I'm hoping it is going to work!!

CanadianGirl81 · 01-30-2009, 07:54 PM

My PS told me to use Organic Rosehip seed oil, it's about $35 a vial but it is working wonders!!

CanadianGirl81 · 02-01-2009, 01:29 AM

I've been using 100% Organic Rose Hip Oil and it's been working really really great! It costs $30US for a 10ml vial, but it's worth it!!

fun_girlntx · 02-02-2009, 04:37 PM

I just returned from my post-op & was told to take vitamin E capsules & puncture a hole & squeeze some of the oil out & rub it on the scars then to take the rest of the capsule by mouth. I'm going to try it & see how it works.

My breast augmentation isnt until Thursday, but I am using Scarguard. My PS recommended it.

shannon2444 · 02-02-2009, 07:24 PM

Some stuff the ps gave me called LIPIKAR BAUME by LA ROCHE-POSAY
they say it works really great. I didn't have to buy it, they just gave it to me so its not like they were trying to sell it to me, I assume it works

lOvy · 02-10-2009, 01:07 PM

I'm using CVS brand silicone scar sheets! LOL! I'll start off at the bottom and work my way up.. Shoot, if this works then it will save me $$

Plus, they were the only brand sheeting I could find between Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart and K-Mart

cowgirl08 · 02-10-2009, 01:59 PM

My PS gave me Kelocote. I use that on my scars and in addition i take Vitamin E gel pills. I m 26 days post op and I m seeing a difference . My scars are becoming flat and lighter in color

xbratx25 · 02-11-2009, 05:10 AM

I've been using serum my sis gave me from skinmedica. Its very pricey but I guess its used for burn victims to regenerate tissue. I have only used it for 3 days and have noticed the scars have faded, where the stitches were is barely noticeable.

Just ordered this online 2 minutes ago... I read a lot about different silicone sheets and this seems to be the best!! Can't wait to use it!!

Oh, and a little question, how often are you putting the cream on?

CosmicCandy · 02-17-2009, 08:34 AM

For stretch marks I waited like 4 weeks before I used anything. Then used Jason 45,000 Vitamin E oil. Within the first 3 times using it, my stretch marks disappeared.

For my incision, since I did have a hematoma, I have one raised and one not. I used bacitracin after I get out of the shower. Bacitracin is the active ingredient in Neosporin and costs about $2 at walmart. The neomycin is what causes the allergic reaction in people. It causes redness and puffiness. (I learned this after a cuticle infection). I have been using Mederma in the PM but noticed the Bacitracin works a lot better at relieving the redness and smoothes it out better.

I did use scar guard a few times but did not like the way it leaves a film. It is like Mederma. You have to scrub too hard to get it off in the shower and I still almost 2 months out get zingers from this.

I don't like pain.

amymarie · 02-18-2009, 11:06 AM

hey, where did you guys find silicone scar sheets? I can't find any @ walgreens, walmart, target, etc. I am using bio-oil right now but want to try silicone scar sheets.

sigdelt · 02-20-2009, 09:56 PM

I am 4 wks post op and PS just prescribed actually at 3 weeks kenalog cream and I am taking vit e caps orally twice daily.

I just ordered this kit. When were you able to use it? I have my surgery tomorrow.

Mrs. Good Good · 02-27-2009, 10:27 PM
