Can anyone tell if there is a topical product that minimizes the surgery scars? This is the only thing that I do not like since people think I got shot when I take my shirt off.

Mederma- You can buy it OTC in any drug store. The small tube will cost you around $20 though. It's good stuff.

i love mederma, my doctor prescribed it to me (before it became otc) when i had surgery on my hand...good stuff...not perfect, but much improvement .

If you go to the bandaid aisle in a pharmacy, they will have a few different kinds. I use ScarGel.

never considered it. I guess with the stretch marks for child-bearing i just figured now i would have a tic tac toe board.

Maderma...or ask ur Doc or a Rx for "Scarderma" Works well

I've had the best of luck with Scar Zone and plain old Vitamin E oil (although it's a little sticky). I can't even see my gall bladder scars anymore. Good luck to you.

I use a mix of lavendar and rose hip oils, rubbed on my scars once a day. It hasn't made them disappear, but they definitely look better than they did. Could all be in my mind though lol.

If girls could walk around with their shirts off, I'd probably be more worried about it *g*

I was recommended Mederma too in the information I got from the hospital. I'm a bit vain, I will probably use it. My tummy us absolutely unmarked till now so the thought of the scars does upset me a bit.

Does it matter how long you've waited to use it? My surgery was in August ... wondering if it is too late now for me?

Elicena - a terrific product but has to be purchased on the web. Just google it and you will find sites and info.

has anyone used the silicone sheeting for their scars?

Funny, no one ever things that when I take my shirt off.

Of course, I only take my shirt off in front of my husband. ...
