Scars from trocar incsions

[Tim C 335]

What did you put on your incision areas to reduce scarring? My surgery is coming up on the 23rd after being postponed for 3 months due to Covid rise before Christmas. Ready to roll and not be fat or as fat this summer!

My scars are not visible after 13 months. I am pretty haiiry, sot that helps hide them too. I didn't put anything on them. The largest scar was about an inch. The rest were probably about half an inch. Some people have used silicone tape to reduce visibility of scars.

3 years out...can still find mine if I look, but they're super light now. The red look fades, but mine were pretty apparent for the first year. My husband said I looked like I lost a knife fight cause I had a gallbladder surgery the year before the sleeve and needed an extra couple of holes for my hiatal hernia repair. Looks pretty good now. Couldn't tell unless you were looking closely and the scars are just white. Just takes time.

Mine pretty much all disappeared except for the one where the stomach was pulled out of. I recently got a Tummy Tuck to get rid of the loose skin so that scar is now GONE!!

they're really small since they do most surgeries laproscopically. I can't even see mine anymore.

Thanks...I had a lap band removed t the same time. These scars will hopefully do as well as the last ones.
