I am currently 5 weeks post op and am wondering whether a topical cream, silicone strips or scar massage is best to reduce the redness/raising of the scars? I was given biocorneum after surgery, however tried the Embrace strips as well. I didn’t find them the most comfortable, but am wondering if they make a dramatic difference in the ultimate outcome (less redness/raised scars)? Or, will the topical & scar massage work just as well? Thanks!

Answer: What is the best scar treatment after having a breast lift/aug resulting in an anchor scar? hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on the case, the ideal is to see what you mean with a broad scar ,because it would be necessary to evacuate the delineations of the border because, for example, if it respects edges, we call it a hypertrophied scar that with silicone tape can be improved, because this will prevent it from rising.if it does not respect edges we call it keloids that already there with steroids injected.my recommendations that you consult in person with your certified plastic surgeon and see your case.

Answer: Scar treatment Dear Elizabeth_T,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. I recommend my patients to use biocorneum gel after surgery. Daniel Barrett, MD
