Hey, I was wondering if anybody knows anything about scar-removal? I'm not talking about mini will-heal-on-it's-own-with-cream type scars, little marks or scratches or acne or anything like that. I'm talking about serious surgery scars. I've been doing some research and barring surgery or a skin graft, I'm at a bit of a loss. Any help?

Actually yes, absolutely. Silicone Dioxide
Here's a good product that is recommended for specifically post surgical scars. Scar Treatment Gel Scar Prevention Reduce Help Prevent Treat Scars — Kelo-cote | Scar Treatment Keloid Hypertrophic Acne Silicone Gel

But it must be noted this shat ain't cheap but it's far cheaper than the alternatives which do exactly the same thing using the exact same compounds with nearly identical effects.

Depending on where it is, it can be rubbed away. my son had a large mole removed from the back of his neck, right on the shirt collar area. It scarred to a size twice what the mole was. The doctor told him to rub it a lot and it would subside, and it did.
Not sure how that would work with scar tissue from roids surgery, tho.

Time is the only thing that I know of, I’ve been toting some scar tissue since June of 1968. The scars have smoothed over the years (abdominal wound) it all depends on how the wound was originally closed/sutured. Mine was done in a military hospital; it was not the most experienced doctors doing the job. Had rotator cuff surgery last year, and the scar on my right shoulder is barely visible, so things have improved over the years, and when the doc can take his/her time. Hope this is some help.

Hey jfuh, what is your personal experience with this stuff? Have you actually used it on yourself? Or has someone used it and you saw the results? Tell me more (so I can see if this is something I may look into).

Yes I used it - it significantly reduces keloid formations as well as the appearance of scarring in that area. Yeah it's pretty good stuff.
