I am a darker skined woman half black and white so im really scared of the thick scars!! Does anyone reccomend something for woman of darker skin? And do you get stretch marks from gettin breast implants? thanks all ur comments on this website are so helpful and this site should definitly be recommended by doctors,.

mai52takn · 10-20-2009, 04:40 PM

I just posted a new pic in my 4 week album. That really shows how biodermis works!

I have an aerola incisions, and in this pic you would never believe it - and Im only 4 weeks out!

Feel free to check it out, FR me if you need to. You can look at previous weeks pictures to see progress of the incision site.

biodermis . com

I wear biodermis patches all day long, then at night I take them off to let the incision breat and lather up my breast with bio - oil. Dont really use it on the incision directly, maybe a light sweep at most.

Just wanted to share.

I second XloveX's question. I am hispanic and I wouldnt want to have a bad scar. I am having my surgery in January and I really want to be prepared for the scar treatment. I had 2 pregnancies and thank goodness I did not get stretch marks, Im just afraid that it will happen on my breasts. Any answers greatly appreciated

Thank you for sharing not only this information but also the product name you are using. I checked out the Biodermis site and it does look like an amazing product.
Can you tell me how soon after surgery did you start using? like 24 hours or later? Also I am also having a lift with my implant, do you think I should use the patches or gel?

XLoveX...I'm 1/2 white and 1/2 black too. I don't get thick scars. I do recommend EMU oil. I use it all over my tatas and tummy. My surgery is in 2 weeks and I want to reduce the chance of stretch marks...

Best wishes

I just had my breast augmentation today, so I haven't used it yet, but my PS told me to buy ScarGuard and start applying after a few weeks... He swears by it. I already have a tube of Mederma that I've been using for about three weeks on a breast augmentation unrelated scar on my arm from about four months back, and the stuff works wonders! It's faded at a significantly faster rate and lightened up, as well as flattened out, much better since using the Mederma. Both are pretty expensive, but I plan on using the ScarGuard until I'm out, then switching to Mederma if I have any of that left, and then just using pure Vitamin E from there on out...

boobies777 · 11-25-2009, 02:12 AM

I use Vitamin E lotion on incision site and jergens firming lotion on entire breasts. I am liking the results of the look of the scars, I am 2 months post and the red is fading fast the "lump" feel is gone and I am happy so far. Love Vit E

dhermes0876 · 11-25-2009, 11:26 PM

I had my sutures taken out today and my doc said use nothing that they are healing beautifully. I am going to take his advice and hope that I get the best results for myself, but still somehow wonder WHY is everyone soooo different. breast augmentation have been going on for sooo long and we still haven't figured out the "right stuff"...I guess we all have differnent skin and healing process but come on...What gives.....hehe!!! Hope all the post breast augmentation and Pre breast augmentation ladies are doing wonderful

FinallyBoobies · 11-30-2009, 08:00 PM

I am using pure vitamin E oil. I am curious how it will turn out since everyone has used multiple things its hard to know which REALLY worked, y'know?

So, I will be a guinea pig and only use ONLY one, and we'll see how long, and how great it works.

Haira · 12-01-2009, 09:29 AM

My doctor prescribed Dermatix gel twice a day, but I guess it is only sold in Europe. Hope to see a result in couple months.

okiedokie · 12-03-2009, 04:52 AM

My PS sells Emu oil in his office so I've been using it ever since the 2nd week. I can't really tell a dramatic change but we shall see!

mollyuk · 12-03-2009, 05:08 AM

Bio-oil and pure vitamin E oil. Delighted with my TT scar and BL scars, will now be using the same on breast augmentation and revision scars.

krelean · 12-03-2009, 06:49 PM

I am using aloe vera straight from an aloe plant in my yard, that is what my surgeon advised. His secondary advice was pure vitamin E. In his opinion bio oil and mederma were a waste-as he flung his arm sideways saying, nah, use the good old natural stuff.
We will see....

socalgirl · 12-04-2009, 04:37 PM

My doctor recommended a Scar Gel called Kelo-cote..

I haven't started using anything yet, and I am 1 month PO. My incisions look pretty good so far. But reading this discussion, I may try scarguard

Lil G · 12-04-2009, 10:08 PM

I used bio oil on my scars, worked like a charm! Although I still have some of course!

Kendall716 · 12-05-2009, 12:48 AM

I use these silicone strips, my surgeon gave them to me today actually and said to try and wear them for 8 hours a day, but not constantly. He siad there has been a lot of research to prove that silicone aids in helping scars dissapear.

This is kind of awkward, but I remember when I was young and my mother got her breast augmentation, she did this same thing for her scars. She is so amazed at my silicone strips, she's like "OMG theres no way you just put those on.. You need to do something else.." lol. It's an awkward memory but its lasting.
