Liver and onions. Good mix.

Update: I finally finished the tube of Mederma, which is supposed to take 6 months but I wasn't persistent enough to apply it 3-4 times a day like the instructions said, so I took much longer. Ultimately there was some moderate improvement in both appearance and sensitivity, but I was not amazed by any means. I would be willing to continue to use it if I thought I'd eventually get great results over time... but then my doctor mentioned this morning that when I have another c-section in 2.5 weeks, the old scar will be completely removed. (Eww.)

So on the one hand it's nice that it won't build up over multiple procedures, but on the other hand it seems all my efforts to reduce the scar(s) was (will be) completely wasted until I'm done having kids. But he did mention that mine was far worse than most, and since I don't normally develop keloid scars then perhaps stitches instead of staples this time will work out better.

Just have them put in a zipper

Velcro is much easier.

Disolvable stitches give the best results I reckon.

What? You haven't tried the product from the makers of Head-On? Golly. Why? No tv?
