Answer: Scar care after breast augmentation Usually the scars do fine with nothing other than sun avoidance. Since the scars under the breast rarely see sun, its easy! However, if using a silicone pad or silicone gel prevented you from having to have a scar revision would you do it? It usually isn't a lot of money and I know the data shows it is a good preventative measure, but again these scars usually do fine with nothing. The silicone pads/patches such as scar away and many others, are supposed to be worn for up to 3 months at least 12 hours a day preferably 23 hours a day to make the most difference. I would suggest using it just to prevent any scar problems, but as many have already said, the scars usually do fine. There are several products out there though that don't do anything so I would look for a silicone patch/pads or 100% silicone gel.

Answer: You Appear to Be Healing Beautifully; Continue to Follow Your Surgeon's Instructions This is a very understandable question. Thank you for putting it in front of the Real Self community. Every surgeon advises on his or her own post-op care instructions. Thus, the first line of action is to follow your surgeon's recommendation. Your relationship with your plastic surgeon doesn't end on day of surgery, as you know. The practice and the surgeon follow you through your post-op process. Following their recommendations is important!
