2 months post-op. Are these tape burns or dry skin? Currently using BioCorneum on the incision scar and shea butter on dry skin.
Answer: Breast Augmentation and Scar Treatment Difficult to say in the photos but it does look like you are having some sort of reaction. I would recommend you contact your doctors office and have your surgeon take a look.You may benefit from some hydrocortisone perhaps, but I would discuss this with your surgeon before doing anything.Hope that helps.

Answer: Skin reaction Thank you for your question.It appears your skin is reacting to the the tape, you have a dermatitis in that area. You can continue to use the scar treatments, but I would also suggest some Hydrocortisone cream. This will decrease the inflammation and promote faster healing.

Answer: Post Op Surgical Tape Burns or Dry Skin Hi laylalove426, I understand your concern. However, it is difficult to assess your incision site with mere pictures. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
