Any advice?

My incisions are new (9 days post op) but if there is something I can do to reduce the appearance now and going forward? I'd appreciate the tips and tricks.

The glue is still on 3 of the 5. The ones I see are very small, and I'd like to keep it that way

I didn't do much with the small scars and 20 months later you don't really notice them. I used bio oil but was very hit and miss with it.

Congratulations on the surgery ?

Don't put anything on them while the glue is there. It can make it release too early. I'm 6 weeks out and can hardly see my scars. I wouldn't give it any worry.

Having had plastics, there is a product called BioCorneum that works fantastic. It not only lightens scars but also flattens them.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for sharing about this product. I'm going to check it out. I had the VSG in August of 2015, and my scars have faded and flattened considerably since then, but are still visible. I'm extremely fair, so it shows up a bit more on me. For the first time since high school I actually want to wear a bikini at the beach, so I'm going to try this product and hope for the best.

@VSG4Mag - Congratulations on your surgery! I'm grateful for having mine every day. Your life will change for the better.

I've been using Palmers Cocoa Butter and my scars have healed very well. Scars are flat and really fading. Had surgery Oct 2016

My Dr said vitamin E oil, I used that and bio oil.

My dermatologist said coconut oil
