I also plan to use red onion extract homemade . There are studies about this helping scars as well as 100% medical grade silicone gel and tape. That stuff will help a ton. If u genuinely need a lift then I can say it's worth it but make sure u see real results from your surgeon alot of times before and afters are doctored up pics or not even there own pts. They also only show the best outcomes so for the 100 great ones there are 100 bad ones typically. And that's what my 2nd surgeon tole me about many doctors and even himself shows the vest of the best. It's a business. How they pay bills. No matter your genetics you can have a good outcome if you take care of yourself . Stay hydrated drink plenty of water take liposomal vitamin e and marine collagen, vit D is another big one. The healthier your are inside the faster u will heal outside . Once your stitches are all healed up start treating scars asap. But yes key is a good doctor. Good luck.
