Can I put silicone tape over skin medica scar gel for breast lift/augmentation scars?

Surgical scars can become red,
hypertrophic, inflamed, and thickened. In our office, we use a
combination approach that includes pulsed dye laser, Plato's Scar gel
used twice daily, fractional laser, and Kenalog IIT to reduce the scar.
Topical therapies are great first-line therapy.

Yes definitely. I have my patients use the same silicone scar gel. The addition of tape isn't usually necessary, but if it's in a high tension area or is starting to become thick, itchy or red, I will use silicone tape as well. Please have your surgeon monitor your incisions closely over the next several months. 

Dear ejrpjr,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD
