Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 BJ, extra Vit C is great to help with bruising, too. Hopefully, you're already taking some with your iron, but if not, a couple a day is good. For the scarring, Vit E oil never did a thing for me, but the massaging of the healed incicions is what's supposed to help break up the scar tissue to minimize keloiding. Does it work? Who knows, but it won't hurt, and you don't want to do that until the incisions are closed anyway. ) Good luck, and you'll love what plastic surgery does for you. in NJ ***************************** > Hi Everyone, > Since I am having so much plastic surgery this summer I would VERY much like everyone to bombard me with your thoughts, ideas, solutions, cure-alls, fix-its---for the treatment of the incisions and to help minimize scarring. There are lots of " natural products " out there---has anyone used any? Lots of herbal remedies---anyone tried these? Lots of old wives tales---I am interested in anything and everything. I really want to heal well. I am certainly starting off on the right track by " protein overloading " but I know I could do more. Any and all help/ suggestions will be greatly appreciated. > B.J. in Va. > Open RNY July 12th, 2002 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
