What did you use on your scars? - Page 4 - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

I used silicone strips for the first 3-4 months, after that once my breasts dropped and the crease got more defined I started sweating them off. Since them I've been applying BM regenerative gel on the incisions once or twice a day, or regular unscented moisturizer if I haven't had my gel available.

Bio oil for me it is fantastic stuff... even made some progress on my stretch marks which are 18 years old this year!! I wouldnt believe it if i hadnt seen it with my own eyes x x

Hi
I'm using Dermatix, a silicone gel which i apply once daily. It was prescribed to me by my PS and is supposed to flatten and fade scars. Seems to be doing the trick.

I have made the decision today to start using something for my areola incision scars. I have kept spitting stitches so I was hesitant to use anything until now. Hopefully i won't spit anymore. I have Scargo: scar massage skin lotion by home health (bought it at the health food store due to a friend recommending it. I also have Mederma and also vitamin E oil. What to try first? Has anybody used this Scargo stuff? Happy Thursday to you all.

Courtney508 · 09-24-2007, 01:25 PM

my ps gave me scarguard. i use it 2 times a day.

I Used Vitamin E previously and found that I always got good results. I did try the Neosporin scar strips but found I seen faster results with the vitamin E. For my TT incision this time I think I will use vitamin E and try scar guard together as I have a raised scar and I heard that scar guard works best on raised scars so we will see when I start that in hopefully another week or so.

dstuff · 09-26-2007, 09:53 AM

I got Scarguard, Bio Oil, and Neosporin Scar sheets to use when I get clearance from my PS. I always have vitamin E on hand & may use that along w/all the other goodies.

Does anyone know if you can cut the Neosporin sheets? I checked all over the box and couldn't find anything about not cutting them to the desired size.

My first BA surgery I faithfully used Vitamin E and the results were great. Scars healed beautifully.

This time (2nd BA and breast lift, done 8/2007), my PS actually gave me a tube of Scar Fade and I alternate with Vitamin E at night.

Because I have a vertical scar this time from the breast lift, I am also trying Curad Scar Therapy (similar to Neosporin Silicon Pads). Still too early to know if they work...will keep you all posted.

I cut my strips and they worked just fine...They last longer too.

malika02 · 10-18-2007, 01:07 AM

Curad Scar Therapy-they work AMAZING!!!!!

momof3boys · 10-21-2007, 12:16 PM

I am 20 days post op my Ps recommended me to use scargauard @ my 2 week check up. I have been using it 6 days so far will keep you updated on results.

jessiem · 10-23-2007, 07:30 PM

My Doc recommended I use Maderma or Vit E oil...I bought both and I am going to use them like crazy...let ya know how it goes!

TAMARA · 10-25-2007, 08:56 PM

I didn't use anything and they are healing nicely. Thanks

littlenervous · 10-31-2007, 01:15 AM

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I have had other surgeries and vitamin E and mederma both worked for me...vitamin E is cheaper so I would go with that

PrettyPistol · 10-31-2007, 12:06 PM

Scar Guard

Its the BEST!!! www.scarguard.com Its about 70 dollars, but after spending so much on a BA I cant see how not to spend a little extra to make sure the scars are heal in the best way possible. its worth it!! I heard great thing about it, the website is very informative you can buy a smaller bottle for less. The girls I talked to afterwards used it and state it was most effective helpin to lower and soften up the scars.

susanturtle7 · 11-01-2007, 03:26 PM

I was kind of a freak about scarring so as soon as my PS gave me the go ahead to put stuff on them, i did! for about the first month-2 month i was braking open a vitamin e capsule and putting it on each scar and then covering my whole breasts with coco butter. that seemed to help my scars greatly! I have also been using the neosporin scar sheet and my scars are barely visable now!!!!!!! Also before my BA i was using coco butter on my breasts twice daily to make sure my skin was very mosturized so I wouldnt end up with stretch marks.....and I didnt!!!! YAY!!!

I think the most important thing is to get the ok from your PS before putting anything on them!

kimmy07 · 11-01-2007, 08:32 PM

i called my surgery today and my PS advised that the best way (he feels) for the scar to heal is naturally. I am allowed to use Bio-Oil and Vitamin E on the rest of my breats but not on the scars. He said not even after a few months should I be putting anything on the scars.

It's amazing how many different point of views our PS have on this kind of thing hey!!

I think it's best to listen to what your PS says
