I have had a mommy makeover 4 months ago and my surgeon recommended the Biocorneum Advanced Scar Supervision gel that I have been applying twice a day. I am wondering if using silicone strips would be better. Is it too late to switch? BioCorneum doesn't make them! Thank you

Answer: Silicone strips or gel The most important thing with scars is using something that's silicone based. The advantage with the gel is that you have a bit more precision in terms of application. My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Answer: ARE silicone strips better than silicone gel? Thank you for your excellent question. Though the silicone effects can be considered equivalent BioCorneum is nice in that it is a gel that can be tailored to the incision site easier than silicone strips. It also contains a variety of sunscreens to afford protection from the suns UV radiation which can cause incisions to pigment improperly. If you apply sunscreen during the day and keep your incisions covered, while using silicone sheets at night you probably would have equivalent results. Hope this helps.
