When Can I Start Using Silicone Sheets over Scars?

September 22, 2013
Asked By:Amy1976 in Tustin, CA

I am 8 days post op from a revision on inner thighs and stomach, the surgeon left the incisions open this time. It seems to me they are closed, I've changed the steri strips several times. Is is ok to start using the silicone sheets to dimish the scars at this point? I am still in compression and reston foam, but seems this surgeon made a lot of incisions and they're not that small, I'd like to start any scar fading system ASAP so it dissapears faster. Any product anyone recommends?
