Um you will have a scar you can't avoid that I've been using BioOil it's amazing

As long as you keep your scab moist with neosporin you'll be okay. It's how I avoided scars on my face.

I'm using Mederma. We will see if it works.

Just some suggestions but vitamin E gel pills might help. If you can, try rubbing them to help increase blood flow. I've also heard that going tanning can help with the scarring later, but I'm against using tanning beds. maybe in the summer months you can catch some rays on your tummy!

I did nothing at all to my incisions and they are just barely visible.
