Should I keep my breast lift incision site moist or dry?

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Speak with your surgeon to discuss what specific incision care is meant for you. Best, realdrsix

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  If your incision line is intact it is my preference to keep it dry.  If you have suffered a partial or complete separation I instruct my patients to keep it moist.  I would speak with your surgeon and follow their recommended instructions.  Hope this helps.

Hello,  surgeons have differing wound healing regimens so I would recommend speaking to your PS about their specific regimen.  Open wounds/sores heal well if the surface has an appropriate level of moisture, but this does not necessarily imply that a properly sutures incision has to be kept visibly moist.  Best to speak to your surgeon.
