Silicone Sheets Causing Increased Redness of Scar? (photo)

Aimcmarsh
I had a breast lift on 11/27. No opening of incisions, only the spitting of a few stitches. Using bio dermis silicone sheeting for my scars. The first day the scars seem to look a bit lighter. On the 2nd and 3rd day my scars become deeper red and purple. I wear them all day except to shower. I do not have any irritation or pain, just really red cars father wearing the silicone on my breast. I also had a mini tummy tuck and am wearing scar away on that scar 23 hours a day and its perfect!
