Hi Nicole!
I am so glad you felt relieved looking at these. I was really worried about the scar too but I hardly notice it now. I will email you if you want to chat more. Hope you're feeling well.

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm just over 2 weeks post ACDF C5-C6, but already stressing over how I'll look at a formal event I'm attending in 7 weeks. Your 9 week pic looks pretty good! Did you ever successfully cover your scar with make-up?

Also, I'd love to say thanks for sharing your entire experience. It helped me quite a bit before the surgery and I guess it still is!

I'm using dermalmd scar serum for the second time for second neck surgery scar. It was recommended by my dermatologist who also told me that mederma is just like using Vaseline. My first scar is not noticeable. My latest scar has become flatter, losing color and becoming less noticeable. It only takes a tiny amount or it will be sticky. You also have to be patient.

Hi
I had ACDF surgery 4 months ago and have full movement of my neck, no back pain and all symptoms to my arm have been relieved. The scar is still quite prominent and I am applying bio oil.
