When Can I Start Using Silicone Sheets over Scars?

I would use the Plato's Scar Serum or Plato's Silicone Scar Sheets once the skin heals over. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

I usually recommend to start using some type of silicone product, either silicone sheeting or silicone gel once my patients stop using steri-strips. This usually occurs about 2-3 weeks after surgery, so long as the incisions are healing well.

I would recommend that you followup with your surgeon as this can only be assessed with a physical exam.  Each surgeon will have different protocols.                                                                                                                                                                         Kenneth Hughes, MD                                                                                                                                       Los Angeles, CA

Scar creams do not work. Silicone sheeting make sense if something is irritating the scar and can be protected by covering it with the sheeting. Outside of that it has no effect on the outcome of scars.

I recommend starting scar massage therapy and silicone gel strips 4-5 weeks after your procedure.  Talk to your PS about his/her recommendations
