How Long Do I Have to Wait Before Applying Gel on my Scars From Lipo?

I recommend to my patients to start as soon as the suture knots are removed, usually at 10-14 days. At that time you can start putting on the scar  gels or silicone strips. I find them helpful in speeding up the scar maturation process especially in olive or darker skins, Asian,  African American, Mediterranean, and Hispanic populations  as well as  those that have a history of bad scarring populations which have a higher incidence of scar hypertrophy or keloids

I specialize in scar therapy and would recommend that my patients start scar management immediately after the sutures are removed. Twice daily application of Plato's Scar Serum should suffice. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Liposuction scars are minimal and heal well and inconspicuously.

If preferred, scar gels may be used as soon as the sutures are removed.
