I'm scheduled for breast lift early this year. I see that many use silicone sheets to help with scar modeling in the post operative period. Any thoughts on using silicone nipple guards for circumareolar scar treatment? (Assuming cleanliness, etc.) It just seems easier than applying strips to the area. Is the silicone a different quality or consistency? Does it really matter? I used paper tape on abdominal scars in the past with good result, so I wonder if pressure is the key issue. Thanks!
