I was wondering what is the best product to use on my incisions. It's been a month & I do like the way the incisions have healed. I just really want to make sure that I help them fade away as much as possible.

My plastic surgeon recommends BioCorneum after plastic surgery, so maybe that? How have they healed? Are you keloiding? Or is it just a coloration thing?

I second the BioCorneum. I have a friend who is a plastic surgeon and after all of my surgeries (I've had 3 abdominal surgeries) he sends me a new care package.

They are not starting to form keloids yet. My scars usually do. That's what I'm worried about. For now the scars are red and about as flat as the can be I guess.

I used neosporin mixed with mederma for the first few weeks. The last few days I started using scar away gel.

I just want to know what products have people had the most successful results with.

It might be wise to schedule with your dermatologist and get advice - especially if you're a keloider!
