What is the scientific consensus on a post breast augmentation scar healing? Do silicone sheets etc work? Do they maybe work so it’s worth it? What is the scientific way that they work? Booked for a BA in two weeks (inframammary fold incision). My c section scar fhealed ok but is darker pigmented (six years old scar). I’d like a better scar for my BA! Thanks for your thoughts :)

Answer: Scars Scar appearance varies due to many factors including scar location, tension on the scar, genetics, and type (traumatic versus surgical). There are many scar therapies available. Silicone sheeting used consistently works well. Other options include therapies such as Brijjit, lasers, steroid injections, or even scar revision. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about the option right for you.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Maybe_yes, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
