Embrace #5- 50 days of Embrace Scar therapy
Here is a photo after removing the #4 Embrace Scar strips (14 days of continuous use). I used the Embrace Strips over the areolar and vertical incision on the #4 application. The embrace strips were covered with tegaderm and the horizontal incision was covered at all times withs Scaraway silicone strips. My nipples were much happier covered with the embrace strips... less sensitive to pressure or accidental bumps. My areolar size was reduced during the lift and are now small enough to fit under the width of the embrace strips (just barely). I am glad I waited to cover the areolar incisions, as the tension from the embrace strips on a circular incision is probably not ideal. However, if you do decide to cover the nipples, maybe wait until 4 to 6 weeks ? I don't know... just my opinion. It would REALLY stink to ruin the areolar scar.... silicone strips can easily be cut to cover the areolar incisions and have no tension.
I have one more treatment of Embrace Scar strips to go..... YAY!

Embrace treatment #4 - 35 days of embrace treatment
I just replaced my Embrace Scar Therapy strips for the 4th treatment. Nothing exciting to report. The Embrace tapes stayed on with no problem. This treatment I decided to do an experiment and cover the nipples. The Embrace strips cover the areolar incision, vertical incision and T-junction. I felt a little itchy today after replacing the strips, but my skin isn't really irritated or itchy like it was after the first application.
Embrace 3rd treatment- Day 22
Here is my 3rd embrace treatment update. Everything went MUCH smoother with just the vertical incision treated with the embrace scar strips. I applied Scaraway silicone strips to the horizontal incision and cut our Scaraway silicone strips for my aerolas (I cut a little hole in the center of the silicone strips for my nipples). This was WAY more comfortable and my incisions seems fine. I try to massage the scars with the strips on, but that is difficult. My inverted T junctions are intact and the scar tissues feels strong. I do pre-cut the Embrace Scar strips before I apply them and apply tegaderm over the edges of the Embrace strips at the same time of application. Here are some pictures
