Topical scar treatment after surgery
Massaging topical moisturizer and hydrocortisone creams into a scar after any surgery is an important part of any cosmetic surgery. These products will aid the softening and fading of the scar. the physical massaging action will help stretch the collagen fibrils which cause the scar to feel tight and hard. Topical silicone scar treatments can also help in this regard and I use them all in my practice as a routine.

Massage Scars
Massaging the scars can help break up scar tissue and reduce the thickening of the scar. There are many products available like mederma, skin aesthetique, or biocorneum that work well on these types of incisions. Keep massaging, it will benefit your healing in the long run!

Scar treatment after cosmetic surgery
Massaging the scars after surgery is good to get the best possible scar. I recommend Mederma 4x/day for 8 weeks.
