I've read about the healing benefits of manuka honey with a minimum of 10 umf to be effective for healing of wounds. Do you think it would help if I use this on my incision scar and how long to way until I do? I'm currently using micro pore tape given by my surgeon.

Answer: Important to Discuss with Your Surgeon There is some evidence that honey has some therapeutic effect in wound healing and there is medical grade honey that is available for the treatment of wounds. Your incision appears to be normal and your body will naturally heal without additional treatment. Having good nutrition and avoiding smoking are important for wound healing. It is always important to discuss with your surgeon before using any product on the wound. Based on your photos, you have a very nice result from the abdominoplasty.
