    Hi I am 7 weeks post op and haven't used any oil or cream on the scar. At first it was too sensitive and now is so soft it doesn't seem necessary.

    I waited until any scabs had healed over and have been using pure jojoba oil which has soften scar a lot. 🎭

    I used bio oil as soon as the scabs dropped off

    I started using bio oil when the scar was dry, morning and night, I also get deep tissue massage on the whole area every 3 weeks and it's certainly helped because it's not lumpy at all, the skin is very smooth. The massage has also helped my abductors a bit as they were very tight.
