Answer: Plato's Scar Serum is the best Cosmetic surgery procedures require a disciplined approach to scars, whether or not the incisions are placed on the face or body. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery clinic, we recommend that patients follow basic wound healing guidelines followed by the application of Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed. If the incisions are prone to pigmentation, addition of Melarase PM is required. After a few weeks, the skin heals over and laser therapy is initiated to further improve scarring.

Answer: Embrace Active Scar Defense & bioCorneum After breast augmentation surgery, patients want to make sure their scars heal nicely so that they have the best aesthetic outcome of their procedure. For patients prone to bad scarring, Embrace Active Scar Defense can be a great solution. Embrace actually alters scar formation by targeting scar tension, which is the second most important factor in scar development. It is the only product indicated by the FDA for hypertrophic and keloid scarring. For patients who are not as prone to bad scarring, bioCorneum can be very helpful to diminish scar appearance. BioCorneum is a silicone scar gel with sunscreen. The added sunscreen helps to prevent any sun damage or discoloration as the scar is healing. It is important to follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon during your recovery to ensure you are healing properly and are happy with the results of your procedure. Good luck!

Answer: Scar Management Hello,Although those items are potentially effective, they are obviously expensive and probably unnecessary. The use of paper tape is the most effective and cheap way to manage your scars. Best of luck!
