After breast lift surgery, can I use Scarguard with silicone sheets?

March 7, 2014
Asked By:missbooby in Toronto, ON

I don't know which one to use so I figured I use both and get quicker results. I heard Scarguard is good because it's 12% silicone and hydrocortisone. I also heard it's also important to keep the scar pressed down with some material and my PS recommends silicone sheets which only have 4% silicone. I've decided to use both...will that be fine, if not then which is better? Thanks.
