This is a medical question and it should be answered by someone who's knowledgeable in this field. Therefore, I'm going to move your question to the Nursing forum so that our Health Expert can help you.

Thank you PrettyLady.

Now, have you discussed this with your surgeon? How long ago was the surgery?

I have always used and/or recommended Vitamin E Oil. I have found that getting Vitamin E capsules and breaking them open and squeezing the oil on works the best.

I have noticed PrettyLady suggested, in her Beauty and Skin Care forum, that Mederma works very well on newer scars rather than older scars.

In the end, I would get a recommendation from your surgeon.
