I took my bandages off last night in the shower and my incisions are begging for more Easter and I just want to put triple anabiotic point meant on them but I was told not to. However, on my next follow up I believe there is some ointment they sell for scar treatment. Does it really help or can I just put ointment and vitamin E on my incisions?
Answer: After breast augmentation care Thank you for your question.It is always best to follow your surgeons post op guidelines. Scar gels/creams are available to help minimize the scarring. You can Try Skin Medica scar recovery gel or a product recommended by your surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Postop Care of Incisions after BA Once dressings are removed after breast augmentation surgery, your plastic surgeon may use surgical glue to keep your incisions closed as your body continues to heal. If your surgeon does use surgical glue, you would not want to use an antibiotic ointment as it can cause the surgical glue to fall off. If your surgeon does not use surgical glue on your incisions, antibiotic ointment can help with hydration, relieve itching, and, of course, prevent infection. It is important to follow the postoperative guidelines of your board-certified plastic surgeon as he or she knows your body best. Once your incision is closed, you should inquire about a scar therapy. One great scar treatment is bioCorneum. This silicone scar gel helps diminish the appearance of scars, and patients are often satisfied with their results after using it. I wish you luck in your recovery, and congratulations on your procedure!

Answer: Ointment to incision Thanks for your inquiry, there must be a reason your doctor advised against triple Abx ointment. Please ask your surgeon's office why? As for scar creams-Biocorneum and Scarguard are examples of commercially available scar creams sold by surgeons' offices. I believe these products have the best clinical evaluation and study proving results. Good Luck.

Answer: Ointment Please check with your doctor first to see what you can apply to your scars and when. Some doctors use glue for closure, and ointments would remove it too early.
