Silicone Gel Sheet for scar after Abdominoplasty

My favorite is "New Beginnings" Gel Sheeting and Gel Shapes from PMT, incorporated, Chanhassen, MN, pmtcorp.com,  phone 1-800-MANKIND.  Catalog # 3505-8 is a self adhesive abdominal form (3" x 15").  You get three per box at a cost of $125.  Each form will last weeks, if not longer.

Silicone gel sheeting brands for the treatment of tummy tuck scars

Silicone gel sheeting can be very effective in assisting in obtaining better scars following a tummy tuck. There are many brands out there but often the ones sold in stores are not of the finest quality, flexibility or effectiveness. On brand that has a wide array of products that have been shown to be effective is NewGel+. You can select from a variety of their products online at newmedical.com.

Gel sheeting

I love the gel sheeting and use it as soon as the wound is completely healed. We get our gel sheeting from- New Medical or bioAngels company run by Mr. A. Michael Hanna. You can order it through our office if you would like or ask your doctor to order it for you. HC

Gel sheet brand

If you want to cover your incisions with silicone sheeting, that should be ok. As for brand, I do not know for sure You can probably get it at a local medical supply store.
