I would ask my doctor about when you can start using the mederma. I
saw my surgeon one week after surgery and he told me that I could
start it. My incision was healed over very well though. I heal fast
so that is why I got to start it. I definitely would not do anything
without asking my doctor. I would not want to risk any infection or
complications. I think you are really going to be pleasantly
surprised about the scar. If you have a good surgeon, it is really
not bad. Mine is only two inches and really barely visible after
only four months. The first few days it was raised and red and quite
creepy looking but after that it turned pink and stayed that way for
a couple of months and now it is just a small white line. To tell
you the truth, after I had my surgery (which is often the case)lots
of folks told me that had had the same surgery and there was not one
of them that I had ever noticed their scar in casual conversation
until I knew they had the surgery and I was looking for it. Even
after telling you all this, I still say the scar was the least of my
worries. I felt so bad and now I feel so good!!!!!
