Can I use scaraway silicone yet?

Hello,Thank you for your question. I typically allow my patients to use silicone sheeting once the incision is completely healed- this would mean no scabbing or open areas. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about their recommendations for you.Take care

Hi, thank you for your question. It may take several months for a tummy tuck
patient’s scars to soften, for sensation to return, and for relaxing of the
tight sensation in the abdomen. In the case of extensive surgery,
abdominoplasty recovery can be uncomfortable and may take longer. Scars may
stay red, become thick or widen . It can take 12-18 months for the scars to
settle.

These can be improved with topical treatments
such as BioCorneum, Scar Guard , Scar Fade and Mederma. Redness can be improved
with laser treatments and the scars can be kept narrow with products such as
Embrace.On occasion, keloids or
hypertrophic scars can develop and will need treatment including Kenalog, 5FU
and laser. Since plastic surgeons vary in their preferred treatment plan, I suggest you pursue an evaluation and treatment plan from your plastic surgeon. Best Wishes!#scarcream #postTT3months #evaluation

I do not see any problem with starting silicone sheeting. In our practice we use tape therapy from day 1. Always default to your PS recommendations. Thanks.
