How can I prevent scars from forming after liposuction? 4 days post-op.

Asked By:angelinelovelace in Emeryville, CA

4 days post op abdominal liposuction. Some incisions appeared to be a dented hole, some appeared to be raw skin openings. There is slight drainage. I've been putting Neosporin on them hoping to prevent scar from forming. What else can I do to help the healing to prevent scars from even trying to form? At what point I can start using the scar silicone strips?
