I've read that recently studies have shown that keeping a wound moist is preferred for faster healing and to minimize scaring. Can this apply to breast lift incisions??

Answer: Breast lift incisions Thanks so much for reaching out. I always have my patient keep the woman's dry. I think in particular with an implant underneath I would rather have a dry and epithelialize then moist. But I would just make sure you follow your surgeons instructions. I hope this helps :-)

Answer: Incision line care after breast lifting? What you are referring to are open wounds where moisture has been found to be helpful. Care of the surgical incision line is a different situation; there is no need for moisture. Your plastic surgeon will guide you when it comes to specific incision line care. In my practice, I find the use of surgical tape followed by the use of silicone sheeting beneficial for most patients. Best wishes.
