What is the best way to get rid of scar tissue after surgery?

Are you talking about the external scar or the scar tissue left inside?  ...Try Mederma for the external scar.  I had surgery on both my feet this past fall/winter and started using it immediately when the stitches came out and you can't see anything now.  For internal scar tissue though...It has to be "worked out"...As in moving the area, etc.  Physical therapy does lots of that.  That of course depends on what type surgery you had as to whether or not it's applicable.  ..hope that helped....

Besides surgery vitamin E and Collagen elastin are great ways to get rid of scars over time...There is also a product called Scar-X that I have used that is great. If you have something coming up you may consider a waterproof makeup to cover it up. You can go to your local Meryl Norman store for complete matching to your skin color and they have great hypoallergenic products!

You can go to a doctor and have it burnt off or froze off.  My mom doesn't have a scar and she had hers burnt off.  But that was a mole on her back.  A plastic surgeon can work wonders for all areas though!

Aloe is only good when you apply it directly to the skin. Vit E also work well for fresh scar. For old scar (more than 3months old), try Centica 10g from a pharmacy. Much cheaper than other branded scar remover, about US$2 only per tube of 10g.

If you have the type of skin the keloids, then a plastic surgeon can do a revision of the scar.  You can then go back for steroid injections to keep that scar from keloiding.  Other than that there is nothing that can be done for it.

MissBehave is right.  I would go a step further and get a very concentrated form of Vitamin E.  I get 1000 iu capsules, stick a pin in it, and place the oil on the scar daily.  One capsule lasts 2 days.  Go to a wholesale club and get them cheap.

You don't. You can help minimize them while the injury is healing, but once you have a scar, they are with you forever. Over time (a lomg time) they may become less noticeable, but that's about it.\n\nPS - Cocoa butter, fish oil, etc etc etc don't work. I've tried it all.

buy vitamin E gelcaps and then break them open and rub it on your scars.... My grandmother thought me this when I was young....works well....

Burn it off or laser removal. The laser takes several visits and is expensive. Burning it off is painful, dangerous (high risk of infection), and will most likely leave a large scar.

If they can still do a proper normal circumcision without extra scarring, then I would have it all removed since you are having surgery anyways.  Otherwise, I might try the creams.  It all depends on if you are happy with the look and the "feel"  Good luck.

Its more than likely drainage from the incision under the scar tissue, possibly with a little infection. Have your doctor look at it. S/he will probably just drain it and possibly give you an  antibiotic. Probably nothing to worry about but if its not going away you should have someone check it out. If there is continuing infection under the scar tissue it could go systemic and that would put your vital organs at risk.

use scar cream. but normally it takes more than a month to clear it up.

A product called Scarguard is pretty good.  A lot of hospitals and plastic surgeons recommend it.  It's a little expensive but thats  small price to pay for a scar or being confident that the scar isn't noticable and you look a certain way.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

vitamin E oil will help take the redness out of new scars and help soften them. My mother has had joint replacements that you car barely see now.

Curad scar therapy works really well.  There are other brands too - check with your pharmacist.  Mederma is also good as an ointment.\n\nVitamin E can work well.  I would not suggest using neat Vitamin E oil, or directly from a capsule.  I have had patients use it on surgical incisions (4-6 weeks old) and it really irritated them, made things red and itchy.  If you use Vitamin E in a moisturizer cream and work it into the scar, the massage and cream combine effects.  Try working in small semi-circles away from the scar - this will help to stretch it better.

Ask your doctor about something called Stievamycin. It will help peel away the skin over night. it takes about 4 months to get rid of all the scars. \n\ntip: if you do use it, use plenty of moisterizer in the morning and dont over apply it.
