Best silicone sheets to use for tummy tuck scar?

By netka21 on 24 Feb 2010

I am 5 weeks post FTT, incision completly healed. I was wondering which silicone sheets I should buy for my TT scar? I read about Mepiform, Biodermis. What about Oleeva and Scar Away (blend of silicone and teflon) is that proven to be better than just silicone?

Which brand is the best? Should I apply creams as well? Is there anything I can do to make thee scar thiner? My scar is very high, is there a way of bringing it down? Thank you.

I've been using the Rejuveness silicone sheeting for about a month and I think that it has really helped. My scar is lighter, less ropey and I feel like the sheeting does a nice job at protecting the sensitve area. I'm a fan. My PS said it wasnt needed but I tell you what, I think that I see noticable difference!

Hi, do you still wear the binder and the mepiform at same time?

I just started applying Mepiform last week at 3 weeks post-op. It's hard to evaluate the effectiveness yet because it's too soon. I can get enough from each sheet to last 2 weeks. You take use the same tape for about a week, then you have to put new tape on. You can purchase by the single sheet or box on Amazon. The single sheet is around $20. I'm not sure how you could use a cream and the sheets at the same time, as I think the cream would affect the ability of the sheet to stick well.
