(Hypertrophic Scar Home Remedy
Want to try out hypertrophic scar home treatment methods? The following ways can be used for Hypertrophic Scar remedy at home.
Bromelain
Take 500 gm Bromelain capsules twice every day between meals. Bromelain is an enzyme obtained from Pineapple trees that reduces inflammation and decomposes excess materials surrounding the scars.
Calendula
Application of a calendula ointment twice a day over the scar helps it heal quickly. Calendula has anti-inflammatory properties and it helps reduce swelling in a Hypertrophic Scar.
Cottonwood
Combine 3 tsp Calendula Oil, 2 ½ tsp Cottonwood Oil and 6 tbsp. Petroleum Jelly. Apply this mixture over your scar at least twice a day. Regular application will shrink the scar in a month or two)
I started taking the Bromelain again & using the Calendula oil but I haven't found the Cottonwood oil locally so I'm going to search online. I continue to use BioCorneum as well. The website also suggest a diet low in fat & grease which I try to do anyways. Another RS friend suggested I try silicone earplugs BC it helps with the hardness on the bb & to give it the shape I want. I'm also trying this out, as you can see from the picture with the orange plug. I have to place tape on it to keep it in place since I don't have much of a bb. I purchased the earplugs at Walmart. They're child size. The nice thing about them is they can be cut to size and shaped. The adult ones are clear and larger. I'm wondering if they're a bit harder which I think I would prefer. Will buy them the next time I go shopping.
Despite the bb troubles I am so happy with the results. I feel great, my clothes fit great and I get compliments on how well I look. Before the tt no matter how much weight I lost how "fit" the rest of my body looked my belly bulge made me look out of shape & chunky.
Provider Review
Dr. Agullo is very friendly and professional. He is willing to answer any questions at any time. He did an amazing job with my tummy tuck & seems more concerned with the outcome than what he can charge for, i.e. sent me home with a larger compression garment than I had originally purchased. His staff is also very nice & professional. It is a new office so staff is still learning the process. I have and continue to feel confident in my decision to have Dr. Agullo as my surgeon. I had several consultations for my tummy tuck & as soon as I met Dr. Agullo I knew he was the best. He is confident without being arrogant, has a great bed side manner, and his medical background is impressive.
