Post-op breast lift scar treatment options & stitching techniques?

Original753484
I I am very excited for my BL & I have come to terms with the scars, however, I have seen so many mixed advice given on the BEST post up scar treatment. I've seen posts about using silicone strips, medical tape on incisions for 6 months to reduce tension and create easier scar, emu oil(?)...bio oil, etc. What can I do to provide myself the BEST chance at thin, white, flat scars? I want to do the right thing. Anchor pattern to be used. Is there a stitching technique best for thin scarring?
