Hi what silicon scar strips and cream are you using or have used and where do you buy it from. I will have to buy it online as I don't live in the US

I'll be interested as well. I also don't live in the US but I'm going there in a few weeks.

I used Madera Advanced Scar Gel. The main ingredient is Allantoin. Since ointment you are searching for has silicon, I don't know if this is the one you are looking for. But I used Madera and found it works well. I buy it from the local drug store. I thought it was a little pricey though.

Thanks, I made a note and will look for it when I'm in the US

I used Biocorneum for my plastic surgery scars. It has SPF and seems to have worked well. In hindsight my sleeve scars were so minor that it wasn't even something to stress about unless you scar poorly. Sillicone strips that you can get on Amazon also worked well. You can put them on in combination with scar gel.

Embrace scar therapy strips. They are specially designed to reduce the tension on the incisions so scars don't form. These ones success are borne out by clinical research vs the ones that are just anecdotally supported.

HUGE difference between by scars treated with embrace and those not treated (because they are in an area that shouldn't show, like under my Breast creases)

I have used the dermatix... its crazy expensive like $70 for a little tube.... it didn't do much in my opinion.

The second time i had surgery i used nothing and the scars faded over time. (Took around 2 years to fade)

Bio oil is supposed to be good... i haven't used it on scars though.

Now i have had the sleeve, i just use Vitamin e cream and nivea all over to keep my skin moisturized... and to prevent my skin from looking rippled from weight loss.

The Hiruscar is around $20... but i have never used it

I used Bio Oil and it seems to have worked best on my scars,after having surgery. It also kept my skin moisturized.
