How do I minimize the effects of staples creating a scar?

Question

I just had a double transplant. The scar is very long. I would like to treat it to heal faster and better, any ideas

Answer 1

Get the staples out as soon as possible...i.e. as soon as your doctor is willing to take them out.

Too early...and the would could open up...causing infection and leave a most unpleasant scar.

But wait too long...and the holes of the staples will leave more prominent scars.

Push your doctor to remove them as early as possible within the range they are willing...as your doctor is more concerned about the first problem and probably not worried as much about the second. Besides, doctors work within a range that the medical books recommend...all based on where the staples (or sutures) were placed...like 4-6 days on the face versus 7-11 days on the scalp, etc.

Besides this, there is some suggestion that Vitamin E helps with wound healing and minimization of scarring. Not formally proven...but some antecdotal evidence would suggest that getting some Vitamin E gel caps...and cutting them open and putting the Vitamin E gel onto the areas could help. But doctors might baulk at this, thinking you might be more prone to introduce bacteria...and cause an infection...
But its a thought...and I know many who swear by it.

But getting the staples out as soon as possible is definitely a good idea.

solid we hear that when Romney as governor he became into 40 seventh out of 50 in job production. i'm now no longer surprised regardless of the undeniable fact that. The unemployment value became into 4.7% or much less. Its tough to create jobs whilst each individual is already working. Obama would not have that quandary. He has been blessed with greater beneficial than 8% unemployment for particularly lots of months (40) with the aid of fact the stimulus was once handed via the Democratic great Majority. My my. How mind-blowing. Now Obama has created a great quantity of jobs yet despite the fact that is lacking. As I comprehend it for the rationalization that early 2009 seventy 3,000,000 workers have filed unemployment claims. The artwork rigidity is waiting one hundred and fifty,000,000 so on the threshold of 0.5 filed at one time or yet yet another over the stunning 3 and a a million/2 years with notably plenty no progression. We have been speculated to be 5% or decrease by skill of way of now. in all danger Romney might tutor Obama the way it particularly is achieved.

You can't do anything to treat the scar until it is COMPLETELY healed. The scar will shrink perceptibly over time but it is what it is.
