Silagen - 9 month old breast augmentation scar, can I cut the sheets to cover the entire scar?

July 6, 2017
Asked By:GymChick279 in Boston, MA

I had a breast augmentation 9 months ago. I had the incision through the areola and both have scars. One is worse than the other (red and raised). My doctor gave me Silagen sheets to use. Since the scar is the entire half of my bottom areola, is it ok to cut the sheet and place it over my entire nipple in order to cover the scar? Or will this effect my nipple (i.e. change the color, or make my actual nipples look different)? Are there any other options for areola scars? Thank you!
