I had breast implant removal with a lift back in october, my doctor advised to keep tape on the scars.
Answer: Surgical tape Thank you for your question.Typically after a breast lift, I will have patients keep the steri strips on for about 3 weeks. After removing the strips, then you can start using scar treatments like silicone strips or creams.

Answer: How long do you keep surgical tape on scars after surgery? How does this benefit the scars? Surgical strips or tape can be reapplied based upon surgeon's preference. If the area is not bleeding or separating, the area should heal well.There is no one best therapy for scars. Silicone sheets, Mederma, and Biocorneum are reasonable and popular options. I recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.

Answer: Surgical tape The surgical tape supports the incision during the early phases of healing. The time it is left in place varies by surgeon. Discuss the situation with your surgeon to see what is recommended for you.
