I have learned from lurking in some plastic surgery forums that massage of your incision scars can help reduce the 'raised' appearance sometimes. So I have been doing this with scar cream after the shower, with gentle pressure in small circular motions.

Sooo you can HEAR the scar tissue breaking up underneath and its similar to how bubble wrap sounds!! Can you say the wierdest feeling since drain removal??? LOL

My regular massage therapist offers scar therapy for people who are prone to developing keloid scars - some people do, some don't. They can also develop under the skin in muscle tissue. I had this from an old shoulder injury and she did five sessions to repair it. I had a lot of bruising at the surface which she said was that keloid breaking up. Amazingly, my shoulder has not caused any pain since! And she agrees that rubbing incisions with cream or vitaman E oil will promote better healing and less show.

What kind I'd scar cream do you use?

I just use Vitamin E capsules

I used kelocote for my Lapband scars 2 years ago but that a bit pricey...I'm gonna pick up some vitamin E and start massaging
