Hey ladies, im 4 months post op today and having real trouble with my scars, they seem to be getting worse not better! Has anyone else had this problem? I had a check up with my surgeon about a month ago and he agreed they looked angry so prescribed me a silicone gel to use which I've been massaging into them religiously twice a day but they just seem to be getting worse! They are bright red, have gone thicker and also seem to have raised even more, i'm so worried that when they do eventually fade they are still going to look awful as they are not thin anymore and are so raised. I knew my scars would be worse as i'm fair but would have thought they would be starting to look better now... my surgeon said if they were looking no better in 2 to 3 months then to make another appointment and we would try something else so just waiting till I can book to see him again. I originally started with cocoa butter and vitamin E but he told me that it wouldn't make a difference so I know trying that isn't going to work. Its also warmer here now so when I get hot my incisions itch like mad and i'm starting to get a rash, can only put this down to me using the gel so much! Has anyone else had this problem? I asked my surgeon about the tape as well but he said the gel would do the exact same thing so I don't know whether that's worth trying? Has anybody elses scars got worse before they got better?
