I had my augmentation done 12 weeks ago, at my 6 week checkup My surgeon told me to keep using the tape, however he didn’t specify for how long. I am nearly out Of the tape and am wondering if I need to keep going with it at this stage - My insicions have all healed up. . I’m asking here as His office is closed over the Christmas period and he is away (plus I don’t think it warrants a phone call to him while he’s away)

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Scar Treatment Every surgeon has a different protocol for scar treatment.I have my patients start a week or so after the tapes have been removed from the surgery. I ask them to use silicone products only.To see a benefit, it is necessary to use the scar treatment for up to one years time, as the scar healing is ongoing and takes one year before it is complete.Hope that helps.

Answer: Scar prevention Dear jewlianik,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. I recommend my patient to start with a 3 month topical scar management protocol with a scar gel thats FDA approved.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
