Question

How often should I change silicone tape on tell me tuck scar? I am almost 5 weeks out and just got my silicone tape I don't know how often I'm supposed to change it

Rodney E. Schmelzer, MD · Answer

silicone sheeting and creams can be helpful for scar healing.  Usually they are changed once a day. However, you should follow up with your surgeon for further wound instructions.

If your surgeon recommended the tape he should have given you instructions on how to use it.  In my practice, the tape is usually not needed, but since you are using it you should change it at least once a day.
