Is wearing paper tape over the incisions to help with scarring?

Asked By:lovetogolf

I had a mommy makeover, and was told to wear paper tape over my incisions for 2-3 months.Is this to help with scarring? It seems a long time to me to have to wear the tape. It gets really irritating in my skin changing the tape every day. Is it just as good to do some other form of scar treatment, like some of the creams?
