Hello!I typically recommend body butters and oils, massaged in well 2x/day. You can treat scars as well as overall treated areas. Cocoa butter, shea butter in am, with coconut, argan, or rose hip oil each pm.Best of luck and Happy new year!

Dear puertoricandime,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

I recommend following up with your Doctor about after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. You may also have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for the great question. After lipo and a BBL you should only have a few very small holes through which the procedure was performed. The absolute best treatment to form good scars is with silicone sheeting such as Embrace. Other liquid silicones like Biocorneum are also very good. Best,~Dr. Sieber
