How soon after a tummy tuck can you apply the silicone tape to reduce the appearance of scar?

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. Generally when there is a thickening of the scar of the recovery. Which means 15 days after surgery. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.- 

Thank you for your question.  It is always best to discuss questions related to your post operative care with your surgeon first, as each surgeon has their own unique set of instructions meant ot help you achieve the best overall result.  That being said, typically we advise our patients that they may begin scar scare 3-4 weeks after surgery if the have had an uneventful recovery.Best regards,Dr. Lane F.
