I'm 13 days post op from breast augmentation with inframary incision. How do I best care for my incisions?
Answer: Scar treatment You should consider using a silicone based gel or tape. A good silicone gel which is FDA approved is Biocorneum. Ask your surgeon about it as you can not find it online.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Incision care My preference is surgical tapes for 2 weeks than aggresive silicone cream but everyone is different and every one heals different

Answer: Incision Care After Breast Augmentation Thanks for your question. In my practice we cover the fresh incision with surgical paper tape strips and leave in place until the 1 week follow-up appointment. At this time we remove the tape strips, cleanse the incisions with alcohol and re-apply the tape strips which remain in place for an additional week. After this second week we have the patient to change the tape strips at home every 4-5 days and cleanse the incision line with soap and water at the time of changing. I advise to continue with the paper tape strips for up to 6 weeks post surgery unless the patient were to develop a tape irritation. As always I advise to follow the specific instructions of your plastic surgeon as they know what is best for your situation.

Answer: How to care for breast augmentation inframammary crease incision First and foremost you must follow the advice of the plastic surgeon who performed your operation.Gentle massage of your breast implant incision starting about 2 weeks after surgery can be helpful in improving the proper healing of the incision. Topical applications of silicone liquid such as Scar guard can also be helpful and is used in my practice.If between 3-6 weeks you develop read raised itchy scars please bring them to the attention of your plastic surgeon. These could be hypertrophic scars and require therapeutic interventions such as silicon taping or non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing.
