The proof is in the pictures. Can’t say enough about how I’m pleased with using Mederma–I’m just a fan, that’s all, and there’s nothing wrong with hope in a liquid gel that takes the damage away by using onion extract as an active ingredient. (I just checked their site and you can download a $2 coupon.) Either way, scarring is a hot topic with people, women especially. I have heard of people who avoid the surgery b/c the scars. Besides vitamin E, I’ve heard petroleum jelly is just as effective and a lot less expensive. Read more Mederma pros/cons here.
These pics were taken about 2-3 weeks apart.
WOW! I’m getting my surgery done in 5 days! I hope my scars turn out like this! they are barely noticeable! best wishes in your recovery!
