Hi, great question. I agree with your surgeon - I would also recommend a scar revision/ release under local. I don't think other non-invasive modalities would help.

Hi melisofi, excellent question. I generally recommend a silicon-based scar gel or strips. The good thing about the silicone strips is that you can cut it to the size of the your scar, and they're re-useable. I would wait at least 3-4 weeks after surgery before using them.
