How long should I wear silicone sheets to where they are still effective? March 7th I’ll be 3 months post op tummy tuck and MR.
Answer: How long should I wear silicone sheets to where they are still effective? Silicone sheeting can be used for at least 3 - 6 months, longer if necessary. A scar can take up to 12 months to fully mature and fade, some may even experience scar improvements for up to 2 years.

Answer: Silicone Sheets Dear julieshane35,Most surgeons recommend 2-3 months although scar remodeling occurs up to 1 year, so some recommend longer.
