Hi Everyone! Are you guys putting anything on your scars to help reduce the appearance of them? Mine is not pretty, and I'd like to start doing something for it. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated!

I still like good old fashioned coco butter for scars, specifically Palmer's Cocoa Butter.

Two things and it won't cost you an arm and leg... Drink plenty of Water and moisturize twice a day with any aloe/vitamin E/cocoa butter lotions. You don't have to buy any expensive stuff, it worked for me. I purchased whatever was on sale, Jergens, gold bond, sally hansen cocoa butter,

Yes, and the Palmer's cocoa butter too!!!!

I use cocoa butter every day (long before lapband) and it honestly did not help with my scar at all. It ain't cute, but I figure I just gotta wear my battle scar with pride.

Mine are almost completely faded at 9 month out....

8 months and cant hardly see them...like daisy, i wear them and am okay with it

Thanks guys!!! It's not a huge deal - just wondered! I'll start using the cocoa butter!

I am 2 weeks and 3 days out, hardly can see the ones on the side of the belly. And the port one visible but not bad, I just moisturise everyday with bio-oil, the best for stretch marks and scarring

Good luck

I think some people just heal better than others. I have a burn on my leg that you can't even see unless you knew *exactly* where to look (and it's pretty big), but my scar from my gall bladder surgery is very obvious on my tummy. So are all my stretch marks from pregnancy. Fortunately I don't care one way or another how they look - but some people can be very insecure about those imperfections. I agree with the frequent moisturizing, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't make a difference for you.

I have 7 incisions and some are going to fade nicely while others will leave a niceness like under my left boob but Idc it's now apart of me accept it or not.
