Does anybody have some good products you used or are using on your donor scar to help it heal? I've heard of some aloe and maybe some Vitamin E?

HairIsThere,

Vitamin E and Aloe are both excellent choices. Mederma is supposed to help reduce the appearance of the scar also - but I'm not really convinced it helps. I used it after my first two procedures, but it didn't appear to make much difference.

The best healer however, is time.

Best wishes,

Bill

How long should you wait to start putting Vitamin E on the scar?

Thanks!

When researching scar healing, many sites stated that Vitamin E did not work on scars, and sometimes made them worse. I tried it for a month but stopped, so I can't say anything from personal experience, but definitely research anything you apply to heal scarring, and let us know what you find.

A lot of ingredients used in hair loss treatments are used in aiding scarring, msm, folligen, emu oil, dermaroller etc all supposedly suppose to help scars as well as hair loss.

Thanks for the info. Had my procedure with Feller and definately didn't get any post-op instructions about putting anything on the scar.

Think I am probably going to just let it run its course. Praying my scar comes out decent. Can't imagine Vit E, etc. can do anthing about tension and stretching. Couldn't really pull off a #6 with my last procedure. I'm shooting for a #5 with this one and I'll be exctatic! Don't want to get my hopes too high

Well you also got PRP that could help with scarring in itself, am I right? Don't know much about the stuff but from what I've read it sounds promising.

Scars aren't just going to heal themselves into a perfect nothing, there are things you can do to improve them so I would definitely at least research it and talk to a few docs/dermatologists...don't disregard the options that are out there.

HairisThere, And keep in mind to not bend over to pick anything up, even be careful tying your shoes. No weights, pullups, etc for many months just to be safe.

Anybody have thoughts on when it's ok to go for a jog? If I can't lift weights I'd love to get rid of this beer gut!

DDD03,

Personally, though you can do cardio 10 days after surgery, I don't like the idea of jogging because there is a lot of bouncing and I could feel it in the donor area. As a result, I usually do fluent cardio movements like biking, or other cardio machines.

Best of luck getting in shape for the summer :-)

Bill
