Posted: 05-23-05 23:14pm

I had my appendix removed late february of thi year, and I was wondering when the scars "go away". Mine still look the same from late feb. Thanks :)

Sorry to tell you this, but it will take years for it to heal and disappear.
I had mine removed in 1984 and the scar is still there.
The best thing that you can do to fade it as quickly as possible is to eat well - including plenty of foods with good oils like wheatgerm or almonds (vitamin e) an assortment of seeds like sunflower and pepitas; avocados, some whole milk if you can, and even take a flax seed oil supplement. Carrots (vit. A) and oranges (vit. C) are also good to regenerate the skin. Don't forget all your green leafies.
In addition to nutrition, you can attack the scar tissue from the outside as well. Apply pure vitamin e oil and pure aloe vera these you can alternate, or put together.
There are many theories on what works to remove scars, but you just have to do what you can and be persistent. I will tell you though, that my favourite for fading new scars is to spray watered down 35% hydrogen peroxide which provides pure oxygen to the tissue so the cells can regenerate faster.
Appologies if this is too much information....Just use what you can; if anything.
All the best to you.

I really do not worry about it that much, none of my surgery scars do not go away that much, I even have a pretty big birth mark, just accept it and go on. It is not the end of the world.

They don't ever really go completely away. You'll always be able to see a trace of the scar but they do flatten and lighten up. It depends if you use things like mederma for kids on it though. I got my appendix removed last year in April but I know alot of people that got theirs removed when they're abotu 6 and they've still got the scar 20 years later. If you have the little scar it'll be WAY easier to make go away. If you've got a long one, it's ALOT harder.
