How to prevent scarring on periareolar incision after surgery?

Although I have my patients use silicone gel/strips after surgery, nothing beats good surgical technique. Individual bodily healing properties are different and unpredictable, so going to a surgeon who uses the best technique will beat the effects of any product, without question.

You can use any scar products like Mederma or Scar Guard to help. this will be better than any oil for that area.

Dear Passionate315742,
for scars, I close all of my incisions in 5 layers and do not use absorbable sutures because they cause inflammation and worse scarring. I tape all of my incisions in the office visits once a week for six weeks after surgery to improve the appearance. After taping, I start my patients on a scar gel therapy for 3 months that they have to put on their incisions twice daily.You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon as different surgeons have different approaches in scar management.
