Plan to use Embrace scar therapy this time around on TT incision. Should I also treat belly button with Embrace? (Photo)

April 21, 2016
Asked By:AB2344 in Portland, OR

Full TT revision 8 days ago. Sutures out 2 days ago. Dr placed surgical tape on TT incision, but no tape on belly button. I scar HORRIBLY and plan to try Embrace Scar therapy this time around. Should I put Embrace on belly button scar too? If this creates tension, I worry it will keep my belly button too tight? Hopeful as swelling goes down my belly button will loosen up? I want to aggressively treat the scar because my old belly button still had a bright red ring 2 years post op. Thank you!
