Answer: Scar care after surgery Thank you for your question, and congratulations on your recent surgery. Do know, the healing of your scar will take more time, and redness this early into your recovery is normal. It would be best advised to consult with your surgeon to discuss scar massage techniques or the usage of Biocorneum or Vitamin E, which may be recommended but not always necessary this early on. Patience is key through your recovery. Well wishes!

Answer: Healing of scars Thank you for your question. It is important to remember that a scar being red at 2 months is completely normal. It can take 6-12 months for scars to turn white. In order to speed the healing process and to turn the scar from red to white, you should use topical silicone. Best wishes in your recovery!

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Scar Care? Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. I instruct all of my patients to perform daily scar massage and apply a silicone based scar ointment or tape to their incisions. Biocorneum makes an excellent product. It can take up to 12 months for the redness to subside. Please ask your board certified plastic surgeon for specific instructions regarding his or her scar management protocol. Hope this helps!
