I had my mommy makeover and I am 10 week post op....

I had my mommy makeover and I am 10 days post op. I decided to go with Embrace scar therapy as my choice of scar treatment. I was cleared by my doctor yesterday. I applied my first application today. It was fairly easy to applied if you read all the directions. I also watched some videos on their web site on how to apply it which was very helpful. The directions tell you not to put your binder back on for 2 hours which I did. I just wanted to take some picture so I took my binder off after wearing it all day and I noticed it caused some rippling so I emailed Embrace to see if this would have any impact on my scar healing and I am waiting for a response. Hopefully they will be prompt I really want this stuff to be as good as they say. It was expensive but this whole journey is expensive so I feel I'm kind of protecting my investment I guess. Will keep updating.

initial embrace experience

I sent the company a picture and much to my suprise they responded right away and said everything looks good and some rippling is normal. I kind of feel like I have clear duct tape all over me but it really does give you an added sense of security. I woke up this morning and I am noticing some redness and irritation on 2 spots on my tummy tuck scar. The breasts look really good none of that on them. I am going to watch it for a day or 2 if it gets worse I may take off the Embrace and let it heal.

Painful to take it off after two days , and not just for the pain but for the cost hahaha

I purchased some in Amazon for 28.00 for three strips that last ten days or supposed to anyway some people on Amazon are also saying you can cut down to smaller sizes for smaller incisions like your breast. I'm going in on February 27th good luck.

It depends I guess on the size of your breasts. Mine are small so I really did not need the large strips for the vertical scar. Keep checking on Ebay also. I sold my remaining ones on Ebay. Good luck!

6 days with Embrace

My Embrace patches lasted a good 6 days before the edges started lift. My breast strips could have stayed on a little longer they were not that bad, however I felt just keep them all on the same schedule. My opinion is the strips give you an added sense of security but they are not that comfortable to wear. You really feel like you have duct tape all over you and it can pull and get itchy at times. I was really worried about taking them off but it wasn't that bad. My skin on my bell is irritated where the hair grew under the skin but that is only red and irritated area. The extra tape residue came off with baby oil easy enough. Overall I am not really sure yet how I feel about Embrace.

Are you supposed to change the scar tape daily?
I will be very anxious to see how this works for you. Please post updates often.
