Ointments/Treatments for Mastectomy scar healing

Hi there,
This is my first post, although I have read many different discussions. 
Thank you to all of you women who have gone before me on this journey and given such valuable, important advice, tips and tricks. To those women who have posted their photos, thank you for being so courageous and vulnerable, such big hearts, all of you.
I will one day soon post mine to contribute to the collective, in the hope to help other women who come after me.  
I had my bilateral mastectomy on 6 May (now 3 weeks post), and am looking for your wisdom on ointments or treatments for scar healing. When did you start applying it? 
Thank you once again,

  • Oops available Coles and probably other supermarkets.Chemist Warehouse stocks it too as probably do most pharmacies.
  • My surgeon recommended BioOil for my lumpectomy scar. It is a very fine oil and a little goes a long way.However check with your surgeon if he/she is ok with that option and when they believe ok to start .
