Everyone is different, some people, especially African Americans will "Keloid" with their scars, and some don't, depends on genetics, etc.

Many have used Mederma, it works good for many I've used it and it helped.

the incisions i had from surgery are not visible...only my port incision, which was the largest one, is viewable but you have to look close for it...i think the scars fade over time...and if they are seen, i am okay with that...they are my battle scars..my medals of taking on super morbid obese war and winning :)

Thanks I got scar away sheets but I think I'm try mederma too thanks ladies!

I have always had keloid scarring. I'm using NeriumAD and its crazy how well its working. I started selling it once I noticed that my stretch marks and acne scars were also fading.

No pressure but if you're interested message me! :)

Things like BioOil, Mederma, Vit E is have not actually been proven to consisently fade scars. It effects everyone on an individual basis. My cosmetic surgeon told me that if you had an incision previously, your expected future scars should heal the same. Naturally do whatever you want to help the process, but keep expectations sensible :)

I'm so with you on that......

Mine are not that visible either. They faded right away.

Am I interested? Well heck yea!!!! I'm messaging u

Call me crazy, but my scars are kinda cool to me. They look like a "cut here" line, like on a little kid's craft, and I think that's pretty awesome! They're also kinda like reminders of what I did for myself. I may be worried about extra, loose skin and all that, but I hope the incision marks stay, because I think they're unique and their cause is for a purpose I wouldn't mind being reminded of every once in a while. ;)
