Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear donnaishere84,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 patients to start using Biocorneum gel after week 6.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Scar treatment Thank you for your question! For my patients having a breast augmentation, I recommend they wait until all of the dermabond skin glue comes off of the incisions before starting any scar cream. This typically takes anywhere from 3-6 weeks. I recommend discussing specific post op questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!0

Answer: Breast scar I use steristrips for pressure for the first 3 weeks. If the incision is well healed I then start a silicone scar gel or scar guard at about 4 weeks. Discuss with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Scar therapy It is best to get the okay from your surgeon before proceeding with scar therapy. Typically the treatment can begin once the incisions are completely healed. Keep in mind that scar therapy takes time, so try to be patient and diligent with it.

Answer: Scar treatment Thank you for your question. Although post procedure treatments do vary from one plastic surgeon to another regarding scar treatment, I advice my patients to wait 4 weeks before beginning scar care. I recommend a vitamin A based product such as Environ. Best of luck.
