[Product Request] Fading appendectomy scars

Post Content

I had emergency surgery last May. Fortunately, it was only acute appendicitis that resulted in a laparoscopic appendectomy where they made 3 small incisions. The picture attached was taken today, the following February (one of the scars on my lower stomach is not pictured). I feel like my scars have been fading super slow in comparison to what I’ve always seen from other people with the same experience. But I’ve also always struggled with hyperpigmentation. I’ve tried silicone scar sheets, NewGel+E’s Advanced Silicone Gel and Biocorneum’s Advanced Scar Treatment, but I feel like they’ve barely made a difference. My scars have lightened a bit since my surgery, but not as much as I’ve hoped. Is there anyone who’s been in a similar situation that could provide any other scar treatment recommendations or tips? Thank you!!
