I used emu oil on mine for a few weeks post-op. Not sure if it helped or not but my scars are smooth and not noticeable. I gotta find my link to where I buy it...

This is something I'm very interested in as well- I'll be looking forward to seeing the answers! I'm currently using vitamin E oil a couple of times daily.

I've been using Bio Oil on my ba scars and some others. It seems to have helped my 2.5 year old c-section scar even. I bought mine from Walgreens for about $13.00. I'll let you know if it works on my stretch marks. I haven't been using it on those long enough to know yet.

Haven't used it yet, but I bought the Kelocote from the main webpage. It seemed the most reputable when I chedcked out the websites.

I use Mederma. It is a little pricey (about $20 for a tube that will last 4-6 weeks). My PS recommended Mederma, however he said if I used nothing, then the scars wouldn't be horrible. But, I'm doing everything I can to not get bad scars, so I use it 3-4 times a day (when I remember). On the link, there is a $2.00 off coupon.

I used Bio-oil, I believe that it helped take all of the redness out of my scars.
I bought it from e-bay.

I have been using ScarGuard. When it is gone, I am going to purchase the Bio Oil.

i used the Neosporin scar sheets. after they ran out i havnt used anything except i still put palmers cocoa butter on my boobs & scars everyday. my scars are very noticeable to me when i lift up my boobs. i dont know if the scar sheets helped a little or not. im glad this thread is up b/c ive been thinking about what i can put on my scars but i cant decide. i think my ps's office sells Scargard w/some scar fade stuff too but its like $100 for both. geez, i dont know if i can afford that right now. im afraid to spend the money & it'll suck if it doesnt help..... so hopefully this thread will help me decide what to try next = )

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 used the Biodermis scar sheets and my scars are smooth and barely visible. I ordered it at Biodermis.com.

I had areolar incisions and am 4 1/2 months post op now. Mine are still pretty raised and visible, but I guess that's just how I healed because my mom had hers done by the same PS and hers healed beautifully at only 2 months postop.

Anyway, my PS recommended ScarGuard. I used that for the first 2 or 3 months or so. For the last month, I rubbed in BioOil, and now I bought some Neosporin Scar Sheets. I found all of this stuff at Walgreens. I haven't seen a huge difference with any of these products.

Slinky has a spectacular auraSlinky has a spectacular aura
I use pure Vitamin E oil. Seems to be working well. I also used Neosporin Scar Strips for a couple of months. I've gone through two boxes. I do believe they helped quite a bit. My scars are quite smooth and the red lines are fading. I've used the Vit E on other scars in the past and I believe in it. Had an accident once when I crashed onto pavement from my bicycle (better than getting hit by the car!). I lost a good bit of skin from my face. I used Vit E faithfully and no one would ever know I had a scar unless I point it out. So I'm an "E" fan.

I don't know what to use either... I use a combination of the following;
Dermatix - http://www.dermatix.co.uk/questions_answers/
Bio-oil - http://www.bio-oil.info/en/home
My scars are flat and have healed nicely but they are still very red. I think this has more to do with my skin tone though, as I have older scars which are still red ;-(

I used Silicone sheets for the first few months. Then switched to Vit E oil. When that ran out, I got lazy and now just use my regular body lotion on my breast scars too. Theyre not invisible, but theyre good enough for me, Im not even a year PO yet.
