1 year has passed n SCARS
And finally i reached my goal.. I did it in exactly 1 year it might be long for some people but i really enjoyed everyday wiz my sleeve. I luv my new body n my new size which is 8 from 16-18 ( i was a light weight btw) i still dun believe when ppl tell me dat im now skinny maybe coz my eyes got used to da large figure..
anyway i have an important question which is really irritating me the SCARS how on earth do they fade!! After 1 year i still have them clearly visible so anyone have a solution or tried something m worked out?? Thxx..
It really depends on your skin tone too. I'm one of those people whose skin and scars stay red and kind of lumpy (they call them keloid scars). I had a surgeon tell me that rubbing them gently helps to reduce the lumpiness...and he was right! The first few months I rubbed them gently every day with my fingers. You can use lotion or Mederma but he said the medical community has discovered that it's the rubbing, not the actual lotion, that helps them heal. I think it's something about bringing more blood flow to that area. It can't hurt to try it!

So happy for you that you reached goal! I am surprised your scars haven't faded more. Mine are barely noticeable at this point and I never put anything on them. I agree that I've heard Mederma works for some people. Good luck!
