I’ve found a great doctor for my breast lift with implants. I love everything but she takes the tape off the incisions after one week. And I’ve seen on here and also studies that show ongoing taping for at least 6 weeks helps the incisions and can result in flatter scars. I’m not sure how to bring this up

Answer: Hypafix tape You are correct, long term taping mechanically supports incisions so they can heal as best they can after surgery. Silicone cannot do what tape can in the early period. Go buy some Hypafix retention tape on line. It is porous and elastic, so you only need to change it every 7-10 days while you go about your usual activities. It should be used for at least the first 12 weeks.

Answer: Tape Once the tape is removed, you can use the silicone tapes or other scar products to improve the scars. You don't really need to discuss the tape issue with your surgeon. She probably removes her tapes early to be able to check the incisions.
