Scar care?

lhernan
$7,500
What did people use to care for their scar/stitch bumps? I am putting antibacteria ointment everyday when my sutures were on. Now that they are off i switched to Vaseline or petroleum jelly. I also bought scar cream with spf when i go out. Anyone reading this done anything differently?

One side is dark red and is more noticeable than the other side. I feel like to good side the incision was between the hairline and its less noticeable. Its healing good.

I had breast surgery and the doctor gave me "bioCorneum" for scars. You can purchase it on Amazon. It says "advanced scar supervision. It has SPF 30. You can also look it up at biocorneum.com. Good luck! You look great so far!

Stitches/staples are out!

lhernan
The suture removal process was practically pain free since theres very little feeling at the top of my head. I had some dry scabs so the medical assistant had to soften up the scab and breaknit down since there was one staple and a few stitches under it. I also went to referred doctor here in my hometown. The scar looks like its healing well and right now there's little red bumps where the stitching was. I feel like I am gaining more feeling and even a bit less compact after the removal. I plan to rigorously appy scar cream and ointment for the next few weeks. I have curly hair so I was able to walk into work without anyone noticing anything.

So when is the doctor retiring because I've been seeing everyone posting that he is
January 11, 2017
His website says early 2017 and the nurses said it was February. However, he is referring all his clients to a new doctor in San Francisco but the cost is like 9,000-ish. He was the most cost effective compared to everyone else. That's one reason why i jumped on the surgery.

Hi, I'm getting my surgery done with him today and I'm really nervous! But I do like your results!

Stitches get removed tomorrow

So, Dr. K contacted me and answered my question about how many cm were taken off since I couldnt remember. He said it was 3 cm. Wow. He was able to pull that off. I guess he meant it when he said I had the ideal flexibility/elasticity.
