Answer: Soon Check with your surgeon but usually you can start silicone gel sheeting within the first month after surgery. You probably should not be using them 24 hours a day but check with your surgeon.

Answer: Scar treatment I generally start scar treatment at the 4 week mark. I would wait longer if there's small open wounds or scabs along the incision. Hope that helps!

Answer: How Soon After Surgery Can I Start Using Silicone Scar Sheets? After surgery, generally the wounds take 2-3 weeks to heal, Once the wounds are fully healed i encourage to start using moisturising cream and massage and use of silicone gel on the scar . Silicone sheets can also be used on the scar . It is advisable to keep using these for 4-6 months to get good results.

Answer: Silicone sheet for scars after surgery At 25 days your wounds should be mature enough, however I would advise to wait for a few more days until the scabs completely fall off, before you start using silicone sheets. For the dry areas at this stage you should apply a moisturiser once or twice daily. You can clean the incisions in the shower, dry the areas and then apply the moisturiser. Don't pick the scabs, just let them fall off on their own. I normally recommend bio-oil, but there are many good products in the market and I am sure your clinic can make some recommendations. Your incisions will have matured by 6 weeks and then you can start with the silicone strips. You need to wear them for minimum of 3 months, as well as massaging the scars regularly.
