Can I use a scar cream for my tummy tuck called Biocorneum? Also mepitac silicone tape

Hello,Silicone scar gels and tapes(sheets) are both proven to be effective in treating scars and in helping with optimal healing.  Massage and sun avoidance are also beneficial.It's best to consult with your surgeon as to their preference and timing of treatments.Regards,Dr. Pedy GanchiVillage Plastic Surgery

Hello and thank you for your question. Both of these treatments work well.  I prefer silicone gel sheeting--this can help result in a nearly nonvisible scar in some patients.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
