WORTH IT$7,400
OK so as you know I was a little upset about my scar so I started researching EVERYTHING I could use to reduce the appearance especially on the right side where I have two incisions and raised skin between them. I decided to go with ScarAway silicon sheets. I got a pack of 12 sheets that are 7 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. I have to use 2.5 strips to cover my whole scar and the box cost approx. $50 on Amazon.com. Let me say I LOVE these things. You can barely feel them and I saw a drastic improvement in 12 hours!!!! I will post pics of before I started and 12 hours later.

How long do you wear the Scaraway strips at a time? I was thinking of wearing them at night & using Palmers & Mederma in the day. Can you take one off & keep using the same one for a week? There is so much info out there I don't know what to do. My scar is healing well so far (at 8 1/2 weeks now).
I wear them from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. during the day I use bio oil and vit. E cream. Each strip lasts for one week I wash them every morning when I take them off.
Thanks! I will try that. I will try anything! I hate the scar - but it will fade & I hated the saggy skin more!
Hey mama..are you still using scar away..woudl you recommend it???? Hope all is well, and you are lookin smoookin..woot
I aam thrilled for you. I am worried about negative people but try notto think about it. I ave been a Mom for a very long time. and My husband and I agree... it's moms turn. You look amazing and I hope all is going well for you!

Okay so I think my main issue is with my scar on my right side. There are two separate cuts that are 1/4 inch apart and the skin between them is squished and raised up . That scar is also higher and shows with my underwear on. I just hope that skin doesn't stay so much more raised then everywhere else

ok I found a way to cheer myself up !! SO happy! I found a pair of VS lace wasit underwear that are sexy AND cover my scar. I don't know why but a sexy pair of panties made me feel so much better about my scar. Kinda stupid I know but hey it worked. I am going to throw on a sexy top and make my husband wish he didn't have to wait 2 more weeks ;) Thank you all for all your support!!!
