I had an anchor lift with explant/total capsulectomy on 5/16. My surgeon did not mention silicone sheeting or paper tape for my incisions, but I have read how this can help. The current condition and size of my incisions scares me. I also have scabbing and fear tape would pull it off (causing significant bleeding). She said I could put anything on them at my last appt (5/20). I will not see her again, as I saw an out of town surgeon. Also, how do you apply the tape/sheets and for how long?
