Can Tegaderm give lateral support to healed incisions? How does it compare to Mircopore in terms of tape therapy for scars.

Asked By:MakingMyselfHappy in Oregon, OR

4 week post op of a mastoplexy, steri strips since surgery & exploring my longterm options for reducing scaring. I have had success w/ Mircopore taping in the past. Hoping find a way to keep tape clean & on longer as well as laterally support my scars, specially the vertical ones. I know tegaderm will keep things clean and be semi occlusive as a bonus. But do you think tegaderm has a enough structural to provide support of the scar from tension & reduce the need for extra taping or tape at all?
