Those of you that have had a TT, what have you done about the scar? Mine is 11 mon. Old and very dark and raised. Has anyone done any laser treatment, creams,etc. that worked? Im also considering a flesh colored tattoo. Please let me know what has or hasn't worked for you. Thanks!

Mederma has helped me plus the fact that I had to wear my compression garment for 3 months. I did have laser removal of a scar on my back and it lightened up a lot but it is painful and you cannot tan the area you have it done on while in treatment plus it's a long and expensive process.

I wore a compression garment for several months and just this month, stop wearing Spanx everyday because it is so hot here. I tried mederma, Vitamin e oil, bleaching cream,Vaseline with aloe daily, etc.

Maybe you could just try the laser on a small area to see if it works that way you know if you want to spend the money and time on it :-) like I said it worked on my back but it was a small area about the size of a half dollar so it only took 30 seconds of pain each time but it took over a year to have it gone plus $1500.

Thanks for that information, that's more time and money than I want to spend for more pain and possibly little results. A flesh colored tattoo may be the way I go. I'm going to think about it more, but with more information.

I got a whole bunch of tattoos to cover mine up and I am loving them!!!!! I didn't know I was that kind of 60 year old girl, LOL!!!!

i had talked to my PS about scaring and he said they really don't have anything over the counter that will help scars and/or stretch marks. They all pretty much are gimmicks. He said a good moisturizing cream is the best thing... keep it moistened. I'm lucky that i scar well. I'm now going into week 12 since my TT and i did have a spot on my left hip that opened and i'm having to let heal from the inside out... it is thicker. But i rather have the scar than the roll of fat and skin....

Oh... my aunt swears by coconut oil....

Good luck

I was looking @ the silicone strips u put on. Those seem to have good results. I was going to do them for my arms.

What's a TT?

What's a TT?

Ha. I think they mean tummy tuck. I am laughing because some of these abreviations on here confuse me too.

Yep it's a tummy tuck!!!! lol

O....lol. I should have figured that out...that's funny. Thanks!

I used Vitamin E oil for my surgery scars and it did wonders!!
