Has anyone heard about massaging their scars?

A community member mentioned that they've been told to massage their scars after treatment. Have you ever heard this? Have you tried it? How were the results?

  1. Absolutely! I used to work for plastic & reconstructive surgeons. Massage, massage, massage! It really helps the scar to break it up and you will help it to heal faster as well. We always told our patients to massage their scars, after stitches are removed and scabs too. After my last reconstruction surgery on my nose, I massaged (still am) with pure vitamin E oil.
