WORTH IT$8,200
PO day 25. I'm so happy with my results and I want to start some kind of scar therapy, but my PS doesn't recommend anything. Could you ladies let me know when you started and what products did you use? I've been looking at silicone strips, but there are so many different brands I don't know what's the best. I am looking at creams to and wondering if you are suppose to apply a certain cream then the silicone strip. Please help.

I am using bioCorneum. It is the only FDA approved scar treatment and boy does this stuff work. The first time I used it, my scar flattened overnight. It is about $80 a bottle, but a little goes a long way!

I use vitamin E oil, and like Kimmers said, I massage it into the scar in a circular motion.

I have been using Prosil on my nasty scar and it's working awesome. I'm going to post a review soon for it. It is made by Biodermis if you want to read up on it. :)

PO day 17. I had an appointment with my PS yesterday and everything looks great. I am so happy with my results and haven't been this flat since I started having children. The pain in my groin is gone and I did some shopping after the doctors and I felt fine the whole time. I can't wait to get cleared to go back to the gym. My PS said all I can do right now is walk. I'm sitting at home bored, so my diet hasn't been the best. I weighed myself and I am up a few pounds since surgery day. My PS doesn't weigh what he takes off, but he guessed it was about 4-5 pounds. I know some of my weigh gain is from swelling, but the rest of it has been from making a few bad choices. I have been back on track the last couple of days and hopefully the scale will start to go down.

PO day 13. Feeling really good but still very swollen. I can almost stand up completely straight. The only pain I have is a little burning from my left drain site if I am standing up for awhile. Everytime I try to go shopping half way through the store my left groin area where my drain was starts burning. I have a doctors appointment in 2 days and I will bring that up. I am very happy with my results and can't believe how flat I am. I can't wait to see how I look after all the swealing goes down.

Massage, massage, massage!! Do this using either the Bio Oil or Palmer's Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil. Use firm circular massage all along the scar lines.
Mine is totally flat and faded from this!
My doctor had me try them at one point on my nipple scars. I did not see any difference at all. I was glad that I did not have to purchase them!
