Hello Jerry; I've never found any magic cream although some folks have recommended VitE or cocoa butter. One thing that has helped though is the instruction of my physio on scar tissue massage and mobilization. I warm up the area with a gel pack or warm cloth for 5 mins then use plain old baby oil and massage away. Part of the process is meant to mobilize the lymph drainage and it does work. The edema has all but gone, but each morning, I do that scar tissue massage on the little one under my chin and the big ones where the muscle was resected and I do believe it has made a difference as my mobility is increasing, and the pulling is hardly an issue. BTW, I didn't start this until 4 weeks after surgery when everything was well healed.
For what its worth, that's my remedy.
All the best,
Fran
