I am 25 days post TT and BA I have a few scabs on my incision still. But I am healing very well. How soon can I use my Rejuveness silicone sheeting on my scars?
Answer: 3 weeks... When patients undergo cosmetic surgery, they’re often concerned about scarring.A variety of treatment options have been developed to minimize adverse wound healing following these procedures.The use of silicone sheets has recently become popular for treating post-operative scars.This material is typically applied to surgical wounds three weeks after surgery.This allows adequate time for small areas of breakdown to heal and wound edges to seal.Treatment lasts for variable periods of time but, in most cases, the duration is about three months.This maneuver is associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction.At this point in time, it’s reasonable to use silicone sheets as long as all your wounds are completely sealed.

CONTACT NOW 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.

Answer: Usually about 4 weeks after surgery I usually have my patients start silicone cream about 4 weeks after surgery for abdominoplasty and breast surgery. By then the incision is usually healed superficially, the scabs have fallen off, etc. If there are any small wounds or scabs still on the incision, i usually have the patient wait slightly longer before starting the cream, as I recommend my patients to use it for 6 months anyway. hope that helps! -David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: Silicone Scar Treatment There are different types of silicone treatments for scar healing. Best is to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. We useuse silicone cream as opposed to the strips. Would use the strips after the scabs have fallen off. It seems, for you, It is too early to use a silicone strips.
