Why: too early to tell

make yourself up a concoction of Vitamin E oil and Grapeseed Oil and rub in on multiple times a day.

Sorry that your doc did that to you! Like the others posted, there are various things you can put on your scars to help make them less visible. It takes awhile and you need to be faithful about applying them. I know this may seem radical, but a really good plastic surgeon can make an old, large scar almost disappear by re-doing them - and he/she should be able to tell you just what to expect post-op - and NOT do it if they weren't able to improve things. They can also recommend the best product to apply. As you probably know already, you always need to be very careful for awhile post-op especially on the abdomen. We heal differently on different parts of our bodies.
