Hello, Surgeons. Curious to know what products you recommend to your patients to apply to their scars? Skin type II. Fair, sensitive and scars turn reddish and then darken if I don't apply anything normally. Scar areas would be lollipop lift and lipo incisions on flanks.
What type of tape is best for right after surgery (not silicone). Steri strips? Paper tape? My doctor said he doesn't usually tape but he has steri strips and he will use them since I am asking to be tapped . I'm going for my second breast lift bc my scars stretched and I've resagged but I've seen tape is helpful My question is what type of tape, and what does it do to help healing?
Good morning, Had a breast lift 15 days ago, on day 10 I got a rash around breast not on incisions. Went to dr in day 12 told me I was getting a reaction to the tape. They took them off and put me on a hydrocortisone cream. Didnt work on day 14 put me on gold bond cream. These creams since day 10 dont seem to be working. These are my right as left boob
i had a scarless breast lift and removap and replacement of implants. My right breast nipple wanted to point down so Dr is having me wear the tape for 3 months to have it corrected. It's called KT tape. Is this normal to use the tape? The tape hurts my skin. I'm 9 days post op.
I had a breast lift over a month ago and it wont heal.. I've contacted the Doctor which is in a different country then me and he suggested placing tape on each side of the opening but it's not helping.. its bleeding and seeping and sticking to all my sports bras... I am lost on what to do and beyond scared seeing how the doctor who did the surgery is in a different country.
I put some paper tape for protection but I notice some drainage and removed it. Now I have an open wound and its burning I do have a Dr appt in 2 day Im afraid this could get infected I dont want to pit the bra back on
I got a lollipop lift so not sure why I have surgical tape under my breasts. two days ago I started to develop some itching on the inside corner of the surgical tape. It was weeping clear yellowish fluid. There's a scab now. right outer corner of the tape there was a large fluid blister that seems to have popped. Talked to the MA on Thursday and she said it was probably a reaction to the tape. The left breast has no issues. Can anyone tell me what it could be or if I should be concerned.
