What should I do to ensure the t section wounds/scars from mastopexy heal beautifully? (photos)

May 20, 2019
Asked By:Darshan1 in Texas, TX

I am 6 months post mastopexy. 3 weeks after op, the inverted T sections opened. I used Mercurochrome to aid healing.2 months after initial op I was operated again to close the t section. The wound opened slightly again. After 2 months of betadine treatment the wound closed properly. Now I am left with hyperpigmented skin. What are the best products I should use to aid healing as the skin is still sensitive now. A slight chemical burn texture. Can I use tea tree or jojoba oil and silicon?
