Emu oil?
WORTH IT$1,500
Hi, has anyone here heard of Emu oil and/or used it to help scarring? I was at my health food store today to ask about something for scar healing and to help take the redness out. The young man told me to try Emu oil. Anyone have any luck or feedback? Thanks.

This is with just mascara on & a little foundation dabbed at the outer edges of the scars. I've also been using the RapidLash stuff to grow my lashes---there's not really any better way to "hide" my scars than with my eyelashes & lots of mascara LOL. Hint: try Amazon to buy the RapidLash. I went to Ulta & it was $49.95. After I opened it I found it on Amazon for about half the cost. (Boo!) Seems to be working too!
At my followup (30 days) on Monday, Dr's office said the bump on my right incision will eventually go away. It sits in the fold of my eye so you really can't see it. I'm so happy anyways with my overall results I don't even care, I'll wait it out!

Karen, I cannot believe the difference from your starting this journey. I was looking again at the last post with the 2 pics. to compare + the post today. I think your eyes look beautiful today. The mascara really makes your eye color pop,but I think your eyes look just as beautiful on Sept. 3 with not as much make-up. For you it's a win-win. Just amazing!!! So happy for you. :)

Yes, please don't overdo the mascara, you look like Tammy Faye! You don't need it, it looks much better with less.

Your results are truly beautiful, what a difference!
I just had mine done two weeks ago, I also had permanent eyeliner and it looks like some is gone, I'm hoping once the swelling is gone it's still there, also noticed my eyelashes feel different, like stuck together, I think it's from the swelling. My doctor did not recommend warm compresses either because heat wasn't good for the swelling and would bring more blood to the area, anyway just wanted to let you know they look fantastic!!

You look wonderful and beautiful. Your lashes look fantastic. I love Rapidlash and it works for me too. Costco sells a 2 pack for $49 and sometimes they have $5 off. Great results!!!

You look great! My PS said not to get eyeshadow on the incisions for awhile because it could "stain" the incision. Be careful :-))

I'd read that too----my incisions are definitely red. Good advice though. I'll ask my PS on Monday when I go back. Thanks!

Karen, you look fantastic! My daughter agrees also. I have not been online, but have caught up on your recovery process. An A+ to your Dr. Thanks again for sharing your story of the procedure and progression of recovery. :)

Who was your surgeon? What country did you have it done ? I had surgery done in Spring Hill Brisbane (Australia) Biggest mistake of my life. I now have sunken hollow eyes , and hooding a lot worse than before I had it done. I look old and tired and my eyes appear small and beady. I also had fractional co2 laser and now have laser scars all over my face. You are one of the lucky ones.
