Welp, got my scar tape on and I set a timer for 8 hours (first few days 4-8 hours then crank it up to 12-24 hours afterwards) Apparently I’ll notice a difference after the first use? We’ll see about that. I saw my doctor today too and she agrees that my incision marks look REALLY good! (And they do!) \o/!

I’m excited to switch to my compression top, I’m getting tired of this ace bandage.

Castor oil scar care post #TopSurgery had been wonderful to me. I'm grateful my partner learnt about it from a course, not sure if I would've heard about it otherwise.
Basically I apply cotton soaked in castor oil to my chest.
Add a layer of glad wrap.
Apply hot water bottle for an hour.
Then massage & roll scar lines between fingers.
The oil softens the tissue & is helping loosen adhered sticky bits. Feels cosy too 🥰
