How to care for a benelli or donut lift? When to start scar treatment or silicone sheets? When do they looking normal? (Photo)

Hello,I use a porous, elastic tape you can cut a 'nipple hole' out of so that it covers the entire circular scar in one piece. Brand name is 'Hypafix' tape, which you can purchase on Amazon.  I think you'll have a great result!Best of luck!

By definition a donut mastopexy places the repair under significant tension. This is not a recipe for a good scar.

After any breast procedure, it takes several months for the breasts to settle. You have to be patient. I usually advise my patients to take a shower a day after the surgery. Soap and water will not hurt the incisions. I do not recommend massage. To help the scars, Silagen is a great product and you can begin to place it on the scars when everything has healed properly about a month. It is a great product and you only need a little drop smeared across the scar twice a day.

Congratulations on having undergone the revisionary breast surgery.  You will find that different doctors will have different "protocols" when it comes to postoperative care instructions. Therefore, best to address your questions directly to your plastic surgeon. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

You will likely never have normal scarring the beneli lift; this is because all of the tension is placed on your nipple and areola complex; you will start seeing a starburst looking scarring that will typically not improve with time. This is why I recommend a vertical mastopexy incision which transfers the tension away from the nipple and to the vertical pillar incision.

Your doctor and nobody else should be answering these postop questions. They can wait til Monday so give the office a call then. I can assure you that they would not want you asking this on line as they will have a specific protocol for you to follow. The reason they haven't discuss these scar care issues is that it is too soon to begin scar treatment.
