What is the optimum scar care after gynecomastia surgery?

igotemout
I am 2 weeks post-gynecomastia surgery. I'm wondering when would be the best time to begin chest massage to prevent internal scars. Also, for the incision scar, do you recommend applying any of those over the counter pads or do you have any other recommendations to make the scar as invisible as possible?
