What did you use on your scars?

[babyblue]

I used ScarGuard on mine....worked GREAT. Smells funky (kind of like fingernail polish) until it dries.

I was told to leave them well alone to heal naturally, just keep clean and dry..then at 8 weeks he told me to use bio oil to massage them and break down the scar tissue, 10 months on they are silver and flat

My plastic surgeon's wife is a dermatoligist and they work together....I have an appt. this coming thursday with them to discuss what they are going to use for them to heal....I will let you know what it is

i used Bio-oil at the beginning. after i stopped it. my scars are white now and you can barely see them.

I used Rejuveness scar sheets after one of my surgeries. A friend (Lorna - from here on the forum) sent it to me. I think they worked great. I haven't used anything on my scars this time. I'm 3 weeks po. I want to try the ScarGuard b/c you can just paint it on. Seems more convenient than wearing the sheeting. However, I will still use the sheeting if the ScarGuard doesn't work well.

Wow carli, your incisions look awesome.
I was thinking about using the silicone sheets for a while,
do you remember what brand you used?

Scargard ladies, how much did you pay for this stuff & do they sell it at the store, ive looked at walgreens & walmart but cant find it???

I just picked up some ScarGuard last week from Walgreens (it was in the skincare isle, near the bottom with a couple of other scar products). It was selling for $29ish, but to my surprise it was on sale- I paid less than $20. I've been using it since, and I already see a big difference in the redness and puffiness of my scars (transax). My plastic surgeon said I didn't need to use anything and the scars would disappear, but I've seen other transax scars and, while they don't look bad, they're still apparent... I'm willing to try this to see if I get a better result.

i used bio oil now and still combine it with clarins relax oil, it really helps for fisrt couple days after BA for soreness

I saw yesterday that Walgreens will have Bio-Oil as of July 6th (for any one interested). The sales price was $11.99.

I looked for the bio oil at Walgreens and couldn't find it. I went ahead and bought the Curad scar sheets, it has the same medication as Mederma (or at least that is what the pharmacist told me). I can cut them to size and stick them on. I hope it works!!

The only thing I've used on mine thus far, is Neosporin triple antibiotic ointment. I smoke and I didn't want the doc to know by looking at my scars. (Otherwise they wouldn't have healed well.) They look GREAT and he said so. I use it three/ four times a day. Plus I put on Eucerin lotion (my son has exzema) on my boobies at LEAST once a day. Now that the scars have closed, I use it on them as well. I think I will try some of the scar reducers though.

I went to Walgreens on Friday and they had the Bio-oil, it was in the section with the lotions, etc near the cosmetics (I had to ask because it wasn't with the other scar treatments). It was on sale for $10 a bottle for anyone interested.

[hootersgirl]

Had areola inscions , plastic surgeon advised me to use Mederma!!

[shimmmy]

Cica Care gel sheets is what my plastic surgeon recommended I use after I have my BA. I suffer keloid scarring so it is suppose to help. They are quite pricy but you only need one, cut it in half, wash and reuse for up to a month or so.
Also dermatrix is a topical gel cream if you are not to keen on the sheets.
Hope this helps!

My plastic surgeon gave me a big tube of mederma

[jodyt]

i used circa care sillicone sheets and vit e

[Katalina]

I used Vit. E oil. It worked really good. I put it on twice a day everyday!

[Italianprncss]

Sandie, when did you begin to use the Bio-oil?

[jenncuesta]

where did you get your Kelocote gel from? i found it on a site for $39.95 is that about right?
