Saturday I had a really bad motorcycle accident I landed right on my face. I have been lucky to still have all my teeth. I'm in so much pain with stiches in my face and bruises everywhere I need some advice on healing correctly is there anything that would help the scars be less visible once they heal?

OMG. You need to be taking an antiinflammatory called Turmeric
& Bromelain by Natural Factors to ease healing. Topically (on the skin) use pure lavendar essential oil several times a day unless you are allergic. Alternate it with pure vitamin E oil.
Make sure that you soak your body to detox from the pain medication they give you, you can put 2 cups of epsom salts in your bath for this. And drink lots of water!

I am very sorry to hear this. You are very lucky to be alive. I can imagine that the stitches can be painful. I am not really sure about any remedies but I just wanted to send my well wishes. Please be careful.
I have heard of bike accidents before. They can be very bad and I feel horrible for those involved.

Wow, thank goodness you're alright! (Though I imagine you probably don't feel very "alright" at the moment.) Some good suggestions so far. I've heard of this stuff called Mederma that's supposed to help heal scars, even older ones. I've never tried it myself so I don't know if it's the real deal or not but it might be worth a try. Hope you feel better soon!

Holy Cow g/f I'm so sorry it took me 5 days to see this post! How are you doing? I am a motorcycle Mama of sorts but have recently sold my bike. Sounds like you got a lot of good advice on here that I would have given myself so I won't add anymore. You know, I have lost several very good friends to motorcycle accidents most of whom were wearing helmets. My own brother broke his neck about 20 years ago when a woman ran out in front of him. His hands are crippled from the accident. The accident was horrible but you are soooo lucky! I thank the Good Lord that your injuries weren't any worse than they are. And I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery. Take care of yourself.

Thanks i've been feeling a little better finally getting out some. I just can't wait until it's totally healed so I can go back to being fabulous...LOL. I don't like when people stare at me so now it's healed a little better i'm going out for some fresh air. I went to the store last night with my hubby for a few items he's so over-protective so I felt fine it was kinda hard to get me back in though....LOL
