Cupcake85 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Mine were red and raised for awhile before flattening out. When you're allowed to use scar cream try massaging it in to help flatten them. I also found that silicone scar sheets were really helpful for me (I had a full anchor lift and found it was taking awhile to fade mine with regular scar cream).

RH4K Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had one smooth one and one bumpy one. I massaged both a lot and have used silicone scar gel since week 3. At 7 weeks they're both smooth now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natsacks Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Im using scar gel with a ball massager on the end. So hopefully that will do the trick RH4K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I highly recommend taping them to get them flat. Even just some micropore tape from the pharmacy for a week would help heaps. The good thing about silicone tape/sheets is they are so gentle on the scar compared to micropore but if you want something you can buy tomorrow go the micropore. I did a thread on this not long after my surgery with a bunch of progress piccies in it if you want to search for it showing how much the tape helped.
