Silicone gel sheets vs Bio oil for breast uplift scars?

Thanks for posting your question. I get asked this sort of thing everyday.There is no scientific evidence that Bio Oil specifically has any advantage over other scar oils or creams - it is the moisturising and physical massage that is the important bit. Silicone can be really helpful to speed up a scar's maturation - getting it to go pale and soft.At the end of the day, to give yourself (and your scars!) the best opportunity for a good outcome, my advice is often to use both approaches.I hope that helps!

Thank you very much for your email enquiry.
Generally we would recommend a silicone based treatment for breast uplift
scars. These can either consist of
silicone sheets or silicone preparations such Cica-care or Prosil. Cica-care a gel that has been used to reduce
scarring and Prosil is a stick which can be placed on the scar.

I think either of these would be very helpful
in reducing the scarring and helping it fade with time.

I hope the scars settle to your satisfaction
and if you have any queries about them it may be sensible to post some photos
to the RealSelf forum to enable plastic surgeons to answer them. AR
