What is the best scar cream for after your tummy tuck?

I recommend silicone scar care products for all of our patients who undergo a Tummy Tuck.  Application of the product daily begins at 4-5 weeks post-op. Silicone products are available in gel form, solid stick (such as Prosil), and as strips (embrace).  All are effective in post-operative scar care.  The silicone strips have the advantage of adding a bit of pressure, and I find them more effective for treating raised (hypertrophic) scars. The strips are a bit more work as they have to be applied and kept in place. For our patients who appear to be forming raised scars, I most frequently recommend using the gel or solid stick during the day and the strips at night.Best regards,Andrew Lyos, MD, FACS

Thank you for your question, my patients generally use a silicone based gel called Kelo-Cote. This acts as a protective layer over the scar and gradually reduces the redness and smooths out the skin. 
It will improve the appearance of the scar and prevents excessive scar formation. Please speak with your surgeon in regards to their aftercare policy as each clinic has different advice that works for them.
All the best

In general, scarring is a produce of genetics. Some people are good scar formers and others are poor scar formers. The scar will fade over a year’s time.  There is no one cream that is better than another.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
