My experience was after I came out of hospital having gone through a double operation, an umbiliacal hernia repair and a circumcision. The scar across my stomach healed up exceptionaly well and is now difficult to see, However, my circumcision scar was somewhat different. It was quite prominent after the healing process so went to see my doctor about it. She was very good really and she recomended I try using some oils that are noted for dealing with scar repairs. I didn't notice anything for what seemed quite a while and it was my wife who said she could see a vast improvement. That was after about two or three months and today there is no noticable scar at all. Hope this is of some help to others.
