coloratura Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I was just banded in TJ on June 21 and everything went great. The people at Dr. Ortiz's clinic are all great and Dr. Ortiz has trust-enducing confidence, without being arrogant. He was great! I was just wondering about scarring. I have been reading reviews of ReJuveness, which is a silicone patch that helps reduce the appearance of scars. The reviews I read were very favorable. Has anyone had any experience with any of the silicone=sheet scar removers? How long after the surgery do you have to wait until you can start working on the scars? Has anyone had any luck with other products designed to reduce scars? Any home remedies? I read that some plastic surgeons say that vitamin E can actually make scars worse! THANKS!!

LoriBecky Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 OK... here's the answer to this question (kinda!) absolutely do not use these products before the glue falls off. After that you'll need to follow package directions as there are so many of these products on the market. hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lori, All the sheets I found say not to use it on open wounds, so that is what I figured. Do you know of anyone who has used them and if so, did they worked?
