    I started using bio oil as soon as my dressings were off, just made sure it didn’t go anywhere near my incision (used it to prevent stretch marks at first), then at my 2 months post op I checked with the nurse it was okay to start using it on my scar and that was fine :-)… a thing that REALLY helps with the incision scar is sun beds, if that’s what your using the oil for! I Havnt uploaded any pictures in a while but you cant even see mine anymore, literally paper thin 🙂 x
