There are a few different things you can do to avoid a scar from getting dark and visible, as well as avoiding or getting rid of the thickened scar tissue so it lays flat. In this video, I go through the steps to heal a scar after surgery, quickly.

I've never felt gross or unattractive with the scar on my stomach because I almost died; it's more meaningful than a tattoo and quite frankly earned.
She didn’t mention it, but this is also useful for people who have sh
@@anhtree4731 i sh, and it is helpful :)
Easy to talk when its not on ur face
Absolutely! 💯 Let's not be shallow right?! Some men think scars are sexy...
I needed to see this and am going to write this down so I can read it when I think of my scar as ugly! It’s proof that I’m still here.
Thank you for this... my scar from ovarian surgery is on my hair lined down there and it's hurting and getting thicker over time. This gives me hope!
A great informative video about scar treatment, products and manual therapy
Thank you so much for this video! It gives so much hope!
I like her she seems good and knowledgeable. Thank you
Can you tell us more about The scrape scare and what the best way to treated
Thank you for the valuable info. I just ordered the cupping tool and silicone sheets for the scar tissue on my leg.
Thank you! Do you recommend Red Light therapy for post surgery scar healing?
Kelly,you are doing a good job, love you so much.
Hello Kelly. Can you give us please some tips for acne scars?
where can i buy pentoxibilin? what you mention for reducing fibrosis
Any tips for scars on radiated skin?
What about castor oil?
Definitely appreciate the information
Suffering from primary . Can using ventouse be damaging g to lymphatic vessels? It seems to work to move the fibrosis but I am worried it can weaken the vessels in the long run. Is there any research on the efficacy and side effects?
Thank you for the tips and advice, this really helped a lot!
Hi! Thank you for this. :) Might you have advice for diminishing scarring directly on the lip?
I have the same type scar . Anything that helps you ?
Do you have any thoughts on Red Light Therapy for scars.
Should you cover the scar after you apply the oil? When I apply oil it just rubs right off. Also. my skin is sensitive to bandages, I always get rashes from them so I don't use them, any suggestions for sensitive skin? TY
Maybe a cloth wrap with oil on it
Could Input the oil and wait a few minutes and then put the silicone gel on it?
You sound like a great therapist Where can we reach you for an appointment?
I underwent DBS surgery or Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. Part of the process is feeding wires under the skin behind the ear, down the neck and along the front chest area. This area is getting more painful and the Surgeon believes that there is scar tissue around the wires causing tightness in the area. He thinks that breaking down the scar tissue would be helpful. Since it’s not a visibly scar how would you recommend breaking down this deeper scar tissue ?
I am 2 weeks out from Mohls surgery. Per the dr I have been putting vasekine. What should I do next ? Paper tape ?
I found your video very helpful way more than the crappy doctors I just seen thank you 🙏
Just had a surgery in my forehead,what scar remover do u recommend me to use mam please..is it possible to remove the scar? Ry im 43 years old
What can i use insteasd to moisturize? Can i just run it under water?
THANKS 🙏. I used the silicone gel & vitamin E you mentioned in your links for just 2 days. I can feel the scar flattening!
My scar is 2 1/2 months old, previously covered by steri strip. Rotator cuff surgery, 1 1/2 inches long.
How long after did you start putting the gel and vitamin E after surgery on the incision? I’m 4 weeks after surgery for tennis elbow and my steri strips just completely fell off. Thanks
I just had Mohs on my face and my dermatologist says the SPF doesn't matter, what matters most is that it is zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. I finally found a skin colored one by Ceravue?
What about cocoa butter ?
Mam, I tried to purchase from your link, but I can't. Would mind telling me how to buy it?
Thanks ,i am from India i had been injured by cricket bat on my forehead and a big wound made after 4 days its healed but a scar made there I am using vaseline and coconut oil almost 4 days and seeing good result thanks
Has your scar faded?
Does this prevent keloids?
Hi Kelly, great video and I appreciate your clarity and well presented video. Not sure if I missed this, but one thing I'm trying to confirm is: Is it recommended to add vitamin E and sunscreen underneath the silocone scar sheet? The concern is, if by adding the vitamin E oil/lotions/sunscreen underneath...will that mess with the adhesiveness (or performance) of the silicone scar sheet? Is that recommended? Or for example, should I try vitamin E oil + sunscreen on certain days, and on other days only just use the silicone gel sheets? Thank you!
I heard from a plastic surgeon vitamin E is actually very bad for scars
@@natalyababiyy Mine recommended it
Thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you for the informative video. Could you tell me how long after the surgery can I start the massage? I have a surgery a little bit over three weeks, I still feel a lot of pain from it. It is about 2" long on my neck. Can I massage it when it is still hurting? Thank you.
Your doctor should tell you when it’s time
And what about moderma scar creme
My doctor told me that it doesn’t really work, after I bought it lmao. They told me that scar away silicone strips work best :)
What about apple cider vingear
How long before you can massage?
Do you put silicone gel in and then the silicone tape? Will the tape still stick?
One of the other. Tape won’t stick it the area is not dry.
Tysmm
My doc advised me to use the silicon sheet and vaseline for the next 3 months. SO, Do I need to apply the silicon sheet over the vaseline on the incision. Or I need to wash away vaseline to have a clean side so I can put on the silicon sheet. Just confused here whether I should apply both simultaneously or one at a time making the incision dry and clean ?
Thanks!
I also have this question!
Both methods are fine. As long as the vaseline doesn't prevent the sheet from sticking.
The idea of the silicone sheet is to stop the air from drying out the area, and that is really the same purpose as the vaseline.
So you can use either of them, or use both together.
Perhaps just the thinnest layer of vaseline and then the silicone scar sheets on top.
I was going to ask you how to remove the Scaraway Silicone gel between reapplying,...(14 days out of Mohs bcc face surgery), but I frustratingly see that you do not answer people's comments.
Just remove it with the q tip gently and reapply
I recently had surgery. I was told to put paper tape on the incision site until healing, after which I'll be using scar care (silicone strips and lotion/oil). Out of curiosity: why am I using paper tape right now instead of lotions, oils, or silicone?
Tape keeps the scar flat while it’s healing and gives a better look to the scar
My scar has healed up but it’s still sore. I’m almost 2 months post op. What can I do to reduce the tenderness of my scar? Thanks.
@@tbellsurbanfarm7810 keep it clean, apply vitamin e and silicone scar sheets
@@tbellsurbanfarm7810 what surgery did you do? After two months still sore? 😶 I am two weeks post tummy tuck and wonder why it is still hurting down there… maybe I am normal 😅
@@sarahfox3312 Ah that is what my nurse says to me too.
thanks, i keep accidentally hurting myself with my wire ring and i dont want my mom to think im.. you know bc i have a "history" with it.
When using vitamin E and silicone which do you apply first?
Oils first i think . Because silicone will seal it
Take this with a pinch of salt … I was told by my consultant vit e can Actually widen or length healing time. Also creams or moisturiser should go no where near a new scabbed wound if it’s post surgery
I bought this super super expensive stem cell serum which the company says can be used on surgical wound. But my surgeon placed 3M surgical tape all over the incision and the wound has scabbed over now. I now have no clue how I can even use the serum. The company says I can still apply it over the scab and it will still help. Doesn’t make a bit of sense to me. It would be a waste of my money to do that.
I also have a similar serum from Neogenesis.Intried to put it but the scar started to itch!!
Do these work for 10 yo scar??
where is the demonstration?
What about a childhood surgery scar how that can be fixed if it's a depressed scar
Use 2% iodine on your scar. You will see amazing results.....
I massage Vaseline on scar but no results
What about emu oil or rose hip seed oil?
but girls hated using oil tho
Does this help keloids?
No. :(
can I take vitamin e orally? and vitamin c? having trouble healing scar after 1 year
Still the best thing to apply is
Good and old Vaseline!!! Which is only white petroleum!! Anything else may have things that make your healing process a nightmare !! I just had a laser surgery on my face and I was surprised how just applying Vaseline made my healing process smooth and no scars left !!
Serioisly??????
@@zzuuuccgh yup ! You won’t believe how much money I’ve wasted on all kinds of creams /moisturizers/ lotions , etc , etc which have done absolutely nothing to offer for improvement. The only thing I’ve never tried was Vaseline because I thought it would clog my pores and cause acne since I’ve suffered from acne and my skin is extremely pro-acne . All my assumption changed when I had a laser treatment. Right after the procedure my skin was red as hell. Then with a lot of hesitation I applied Vaseline and I was surprised to see how it helped a lot in the healing process . It helped the scabs go away without leaving scars or marks . ( many years ago I had a strong chemical peel , I didn’t apply Vaseline but some expensive cosmetic cream which didn’t help and I ended up with scars ) . Now I’ve been using Vaseline every night and my skin hasn’t looked this great ! The cosmetic industry makes billions of dollars by scamming people and of course they will never ever promote Vaseline . So screw them ! My only regret is that I haven’t used Vaseline earlier in my life. It would have saved my lots but lots of money !
I got a big scar on my finger. Vaseline and bandage and the scar shrank to almost nothing. So happy
@@Three_Days_Of_Solitude please tell me can I put vaseline whatever I want and how much time to let
@@hsjskkksnjs1348 I used fat vaseline or any hand cream without perfume multiple times a day on my finger with bandage.
I had bandage on for a really long time
Then I removed the bandage and continued with vaseline
Update: I got a few stretch marks on my finger but no scar. Sometimes it gets dry and feels uncomfortable to touch things.
Some Vaseline and it feels smooth and comfortable again.
Hi will this work for thick scar tissue that is 3 - 4 years old?
yes
No
@@arakan2996 it only works if its below 2 years
My Dr told me to use retin a and it has worked wonders on a very thick old scar I had on my shoulder. After a year of use it's almost gone!
Mam pls send me gel name
It's in the links
How long should you wait before skin tissue rolling after tummy tuck/breast aug?
You should talk to your surgeon and get aftercare advice 💕
Sunscreen doesn’t matter I’ve had a huge scar on my ass and it’s lighter and more visible than the one on my face
I was hit by my ex and i got a real deep cut above my left eye..i dont know how i can get rid of it..
Omg same that’s why I’m here rn to take care of it 😭
@@juliannamartinez5505 did you find any remedy..I hate the scar i swear.
@@estherwanyutu3286 have you tried dermarolling? If not I would ask your doctor if they’re okay with it and then try that. If that isn’t working I’d talk to your doctor about a scar revision to reduce its size. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with that!
@@caitrionamaciver4960 no not yet will try inquire from a derm about it.
Try with rosehip oil
There is nothing more hydrating then lard. Why- it’s most like our natural sebum. It’s gross but it’s a fact.
I had a scar, I used Silicone Gel & Vitamin E Oil but my scar got swollen, reddish and painful. I then started massaging the Scar with Salicylic Acid mixed in Gelly and my scar started healing, flattening & stopped paining.
Can u help me understand how exactly urs heeled
@@lhoward1188 Just the way I wrote it. Salicylic acid is a drying and peeling agent. Though it hurts when applied and peels the outer skin a little, but the scar started becoming smaller. I have before and after pics.
Where do I get gelly from?
@@gretchen725 Jelly is simply raw vaseline without perfume etc. You can add Tea Tree Oil to the mixture if you like.
@@fredidalu2256 ok thank u I tried this last night and today. It looks smaller to me . You really came up with something here . Lol I wasn’t expecting results so fast it’s my hernia scare on my belly button.
If Ur here for to get rid of the sh scars 💅
👇 (Not me btw )
Do you do this while you still have stitches or after?
after
NO
I don't care about the scar I just hate how loose the shit is
Pretty sure I was drag through the grass idk(don’t judge I’m a crime victim🤦🏽♀️😭)but I have a whole bunch of small raised scars on my elbow and they’re dark in color and a bit itchy
😭 I'm sorry you went through that. A homeless man hit me in the face with a weighted pipe that had jagged metal on the end. I'm very grateful that I have my eye and I didn't have a brain bleed but my forehead is definitely trashed as well as my cheek or in the mouth area. I am refused to play victim. I'm doing everything I can to try and make my community a safer place. Take care of yourself. Don't let the horrible person define you
@@juliehoward2618 thank you and yeah that’s all we can do is just use our experiences to help others.
You know wat I had elbow surgery months ago my elbow is now dark and the scar about my elbow looks swallon n looks really bad sadness
You may have pieces of grass or dirt under the scars. I’ve had pieces of glass under my skin from a car accident and it was always dark before the glass came out
@@alaura.444 yeah I found a piece of glass in my scars😭
I've heard vitamin e is actually bad for scars!!
How so?
@@niellalien According to pubmed: "study shows that there is no benefit to the cosmetic outcome of scars by applying vitamin E after skin surgery and that the application of topical vitamin E may actually be detrimental to the cosmetic appearance of a scar. In 90% of the cases in this study, topical vitamin E either had no effect on, or actually worsened, the cosmetic appearance of scars. Of the patients studied, 33% developed a contact dermatitis to the vitamin E. Therefore we conclude that use of topical vitamin E on surgical wounds should be discouraged. "
This is only anecdotal but I used it religiously after surgery- didn’t help me one bit. Thick keloid scar. When researching (sadly after the fact), I believe the studies showed no positive effects of vit E
I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter, it works great!!
Ok but why does it stay forever
True
Cool, I wonder if my surgeon when I was a kid, did this technique (it has scarred thickly, sadly).
I wish we had this done but that's life, God's will be done.
What's the average number of days after surgery is best to apply vitamin E, silicone stuff?
God bless, Rev. 21:4
I have a dime sized slightly raised dark scar in the center of my forehead and from the side it looks like a corner. Someone please tell me how I can get rid of this miserable scar. I legit had someone say I have the mark of booty on my forehead 😂😔
LMFAO
btw i use photo corrective gel on my scars and it seems to be working really well (after just 3 days)

Try consulting a plastic surgeon on the best way to remove it.
Ask if laser is applicable for your case.
Just had wrist surgery with a 6 inch scar. Couldn’t care less if scar is ugly or tough or whatever. I’m leaving it be. I’m a man, get over yourselves. Good grief
Ah ha. That’s Chinese 拔罐 , the modern way
Went for a surgery n there’s a deep hole after it splits up
I quickly went to tcm after the recovery seem so slow … was prescribed v gd but expensive medicine (i googled n it’s manufactured under a firm that seem to need China Govt approval. So I think it will most like;y be v close to the ancient recipe is in gd control and authentic herbs are used?)
So the wound healed up v fast and v soon I do not need to go for dressing anymore.
Then the area is ready for acupuncture. Wound is closed but skin is read n inside still healing
The doc said that acupuncture ard the area will improve blood circulation to the area to speed up healing process
It’s liked the prob with those diabetics patients
Poor blood circulation in the whole system plus high sugar will hinder healing process.
The cleaning of wound is making wound clean if possible but if blood circulation and body dampness etc not in control, then it will take v long to heal

Absolutely 💯 No sunscreen! What is she talking about. Horrible advice. Just use Aloe Vera gel.... and castor oil. Separately. Research the truth about the chemicals in sunscreen aleast please!
Please please tell me sombady how to put vaseline ins scar in night or day how many times and how much time to let
I wasn't told anything for scar care, it was 6 months after that they told me it was just going to be a very thick scaring because my skin is that way.
I wish I would have found your channel sooner, my stomach scar is so thick and large...it makes me feel uncomfortable and has been dry. I'll see if these tips might help 💙❤️🩹💙
