I had a spinal fusion 6 months ago, the scar is still a little red and the staple marks are still there. I was wondering, how long did it take your scar til they started to fade and become white, flat, thiner and less noticable? Please respond back because this is really bothering me and I would like to hear what you people say since you went through the same surgery and pain I experienced. thanks.

By the time my daughter was one year post-op, her scar was barely noticeable. She wears a bikini, tanks tops and other clothing that shows her scar without problem. Make sure you protect the scar from the sun.

Vitamin E Cream
Hi,
I was told by some friends of mine to apply a Vitamin E Cream on the scar. I found it at Walgreens. I've been using it 3 times daily and it seems to be helping. My scar is still red, but it's no longer puffy. I'm 3 months post-op today.
Here's a link for the product: http://www.walgreens.com/store/produ...712&id=prod712
Good luck! I really hope this helps you.
