Scar creams for breast reduction?

Dear shizznizz786,Thank you for your question and congratulations on your breast reduction surgery. For all of my breast reduction patients, I have them purchase "Silagen" which is a form of silicone sheeting. I have them start it at 6 weeks out from surgery as long as everything is closed. They are instructed to wear it at night while they are sleeping. It has proven great results and patients are very happy with it. I hope this was helpful and best of luck to you!

Hello and thank you for your question.
Your surgeon should be able to give you some recommendations on which he or she prefers. Silicone sheeting is a good choice along with scar recovery gel. Best wishes!

Surgical scars can become red,
hypertrophic, inflamed, and thickened. In our office, we use a
combination approach that includes pulsed dye laser, Plato's Scar gel
used twice daily, fractional laser, and Kenalog IIT to reduce the scar.
Topical therapies are great first-line therapy. 
Best,

In general, scarring is a product of genetics. Some people are good scar formers, and others are poorer scar formers. I always minimize the scars to minimize the likelihood of poor scars. There is no one best therapy for scars. Silicone sheets, Mederma, and Bicorneum are reasonable and popular options. I recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas, which usually takes 4 - 6 weeks.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
