Does silicone tape keep pressure off breast lift scar? (Photo)

Asked By:Ddrr123 in White Plains, NY

I'm using silicone tape, but I'm wondering if I should put tegaderm over the silicone to relive pressure? Or does silicone tape keep pressure off the scar? (I'm 9 weeks post op). When am I in the clear for scars widening and stretching?
