I am glad I did not search around, I knew a woman who had a TT here some years ago, the day of my appointment ran into a neighbor who was coming here for treatment and then my overnight nurse , the night of my TT, shares with me her experience here and even showed me her scar when I questioned about it...., you REALLY had to look for one ..... She said the only reason people need a revision is if the get a bad TT and that hasn't happened here. PRAISE GOD, calmed all what concerned me about getting a TT, afraid of having a grotesque scar instead of a grotesque tummy. She was an angel, taking care of me, affirming me and sharing her TT story which was fabulous. I am only two weeks postop but look forward to my year mark and look back and say it was worth it The post op nurse is always an email or call away and reruns your question and or concerns promptly and she's a peach too, kind, professional, through and excellent patient relations as well❤️❤️❤️. The whole office staff is very friendly and there to serve you....love them all!!!

Scar guard va Bioderm

Any thoughts or experience using the Bioderm, doctor grade, silicone scar tape verses the OTC Scar Guard

I've read that the silicone scar sheets are the only product that helps reduce the TT scar. The whole idea is to keep tension on the scar so the scar doesn't stretch out. Surgical tape works just as well. I use surgical tape & coconut oil when I change the tape. I massage my scar over the tape & when it's off I use the coconut oil.
Okay, that sounds good, I've been made to wear my surgical tape for 6, in at 5 now, scar looks a great! So at six weeks just use coconut oil at night and tape during the day?
Use tape ALL the time. In 3-7days when it starts falling off remove it & I rub coconut oil on the scar 3-4xs that day then I tape that night or the next morning.
You can continue to just tape if you'd rather but I've noticed an improvement with mine if I do it this way. I tape back up at night because during the day you can remind yourself to not over stretch your scar at night you move around & could stretch the scar.
Good point!!!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me.,,.
Okay, that's a great plan!!!
I just started using the ScarZone cream that my PS gave me this week. Huge improvement already in my scars redness and puffiness. although...I am 3 months post op.
