I am getting a breast reduction in February. I'm totally excited but a bit concerned about scarring. I have done extensive research and have decided to use silicone scar sheets along with maderma. In your opinion, what is the best brand of the silicone scar sheets? ScarAway? ScarFX? NewGel+? Help please.
I had breast reduction surgery 3 years ago and ended up with undesired results. Two months ago I had a revision surgery with a visiting doctor who left the country. Im currently following up with another doctor but Im not sure Im receiving the best care. Four weeks after surgery, I started using silicone sheets for 12 hours and bio oil the rest of the day. Im really worried, are my areolas and breast contour going to improve or this is the final result?
I had a breast reduction/lift on November 21, 2018. I started using vitamin e oil to massage the scars and silicone scar gel. I recently started using silicone strips, now moving on to silicone tape. I just want reassurance or confirmation as to why this part under my nipple is getting darker b/c this part was normal the first month. Should I start using some type of skin fading treatment or any other type of scar medicine that isnt tape or any of the above that I have already used?
Whats going on here? (I see my surgeon in 2 days) Redness, two spots that look irritated. One has a tiny opening. Ive been healing so well- what a bummer. All my other incisions look calm and normal. Thoughts? No pain no fever no burning. One did leak like a tiny bit of a cream/beige color dot. Thats it tho. Could it be the silicone strips I just started last week??
Delighted with result and scar healing but dont like the pinky/purple hue of both lower parts of breast. Was told it will fade but I dont see that happening. What causes this and can I do anything to get rid of it please. Also, what are thoughts on silicone strips or cream 3 months on- will that improve my scars anymore than moisturiser and massage ??
I just had a breast reduction 1 week ago and am looking into scar treatments for a couple of weeks time. I have been told by everyone to use bio oil but have also read good things about silicone gel. Which is better? Also I need to massage my breast but how do you do this using silicone gel... as the ones I have seen from online shops instruct to put the cream on the scars and leave for 5 minutes to dry where as I can see how you can massage the whole breast using bio oil?
19 days post op breast reduction and I got this redness after using silicone sheets a week ago however this is not going away and is very tender to the touch unable to wear any bra, etc.. allergy med did nothing and Doctor said to call him if I have a fever he think it might be an allergic reaction to the silicone sheets I am no longer using them and before it was red this area was kinda of yellow please see the pics what do you guys think?
I am 4 weeks post op. My dr was very rushed at the 2 min long 3 week appt & just told me to buy silicone strips from his private office for the scars. The nurses asked me if I was massaging my scars, they told me I probably should, but didn't explain Do I run my finger along the incision with a bit of pressure? Is it supposed tobe painful? I tried and at some points it felt similar to when a pimple pops, only underneath the skin. Is that breaking up scar tissue? How often should I massage them?
