How to remove surgical scar? - any advice is helpful!

[atieah2009]

My brother has had a scar for 10 years on his stomach. it was stitched up (since back then there was no laser) so it looks like this but not as bad. Any Advice, i know about laser but anything else? this is picture, differences - his one more then half this size and little more tucked on. http://www.mightymuppets.com/blog/uploaded_images/ankle-surgery-scar-799690.jpg




thanks for any advice!

Why does he want it removed? If it's on his stomach, it won't be seen by many people. Is he really self-conscious of it?

Bio-oil is good.

He's really self concious of it and it always puts him down and it's really annoying.

Aye, try bio-oiling it - it's expensive, but works!

I had a scar on my knee (was from when I was younger, I fell over and my whole knee was cut open, and it was pretty much, rank lol) so I bio-oiled it... and now you can hardly see them... it's really really faint >.<

Hope you find something that works Xx

Try renew oil. It'll fade it a wee bit, but tell him not to expect miracles.

If he uses 2-3 diffrent oils a day, will he get infected?

If it's still open it might, yeah. He'll have to wait until it's healed and so a proper scar before he uses it.

Um is the scar the one in the pic,if it is it's gonna take a lot of bio oil to get rid of that.
