Post Mommy Makeover Scar Treatment

User Avatar
Mommy of 4Feb 14, 2011

I want my scars to heal as light ,flat,and thin as possible. I have bought every scar lotion, tape, oil,and creme known. Now what do I do with them? My dr said all were great but didn't specify the sequence and weeks to do what. When I had my breasts done the first time,all I did was use paper tape on the incision for a month.Right now I am 2 weeks post mommy makeover and using scar guard as the steristrips fall off. Help me out her with a " scar treatment plan"!
