Great that youre healing well🥳 I think with massaging, it depends on how it feels to the touch. If you aren't in so much pain while you do so, then you can gently start at whatever point you feel ready and stop when it is starting to get too painful. bit by bit goes a long way😅 I started applying bio oil after i saw it did not look like an open wound anymore and the stitches has pretty much dissolved and that after i applied the oil, it did not feel like it was seeping into the wound causing pain and discomfort. All the best. x

My doctor recommended I wait the 8 weeks to put anything on my scar. I started the bio oil immediately on my stretch marks tho. 6 months PP and they are starting to lighten up a bit. I use mederma scar gel on my incision. Highly recommend that

If its healing well and youre 9 weeks, lightly massage it and see how it feels and then if all is good, the next day continue and keep going with a little more pressure. Just makesure you are aware of how it feels and dont push it too fast! 😊 what i did to start off is i grabbed a small plastic ball from my sons ball pit lol and rolled it on (after cleaning it and no i didnt give it back lol he has tons) and kept doing that lightly then started with my fingers a week later!
