I have been using cocoa butter on mine once or twice a day ... but I think it actually makes little difference just like stretch marks during pregnancy ... it's all down to genetics.

Hi! Just want to know which brand you are using for the cocoa butter. thanks!

Does anybody have an incision in the bellybutton? I have a large vertical one right above mine. I hate it!!!!

I'm one year out and the only one I can find easily any more is the one next to my belly button, and even it's hard to see unless you are looking for it. They do fade and as you lose weight, the skin shrinks a little as well.

Yep inside top area of belly button. Thats the one my stomach came out. Doc said that area is the most pliable. Im 17 days out and all are completely healed. The other 3 were only about 1/2 inch long. My stretch marks are 10x worse than my incisions!
