If you have scabs or open wounds, ointment is suggested until healed. If you are healed, leaving it open is fine and you could ask your surgeon about scar products that may help give you the best result.
Thanks for your question,Your results look great. I would suspect that if your surgery was carried out by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, you should have received detailed post operative instructions. I would check those first, if nothing is there, I am sure you surgeon would be happy to answer any and all your concern pertaining to your operation.Good Luck, your surgery looks great.Stephen M.
