How much do the scars fade? Enough to wear a bikini on day?

*one

Mine are barely noticeable any more.

My scars are still dark 6 months out. But I've not put anything on them. But then again I have no intention of ever wearing a bikini, so I really don't care.

Mine are barely visible. Scarring is dependent largely on the individual. Look at your past scars for an indication of how the future ones will be. It also depends on post-op care and the skill of your surgeon, but mostly it's you.

I don't know about scars from this surgery but I have had other surgeries and am scarless. As soon as your stitches/staples are gone startputting Vitamin E Oil on the scars2-3 times a day and they will go away. The vitamin E oil comes in a bottle at like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid ect. Getting the capsules is not the same. Has to be the liquid in the bottle. I would just put my finger over the top of the bottle and get a little on my finger tip and massage the scar. It eliminates the scar and desensitizes it at the same time.

I never put anything on my band scars and 6 months post op my doc and i couldnt find them. Small scars heal really nicely. I even wore a bikini last summer and none of my friends noticed the scars and that was 6 weeks post op!
