Thanks Hey lovely, your surgeon will advise you on scar care and you also will get follow up advice at your first post-op appointment. My first scar tape was removed at my week one appointment and then weekly for five weeks. After that you can use scar creams like Stratamed or Strataderm, which I did for a while, but my scars faded well and quickly. I am now almost 12 months post-op and my scars are almost invisible. Healing depends on the skill of your plastic surgeon with the incision and your skin type and how well you heal or scar generally. Good luck for your surgery xo I HaveBoobs and AS1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I HaveBoobs 951 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Like what @sabPsaid . I also used Rosehip oil and Vitamin E cream from about 4 wpo (was told i could start using scar creams from then) i was also given a small sample tube of Stratamed in my post op pack so used that first then the Strataderm, Rosehip and vitamin E, my scars are barley visible now at 1 yr po.

Frankie* 40 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Did either of you ladies use or consider silicon tape e.g Scar FX? I’m reading mixed reviews. Am heading in for my BA and BL and am pale skinned, so scars will be v.obvious! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did try the scar FX tape for a while but found them no better than the scar creams and very expensive for what they are, just my personal opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey hun, same as @I HaveBoobs I didn't bother with the tape, way too expensive and the creams were great. I am pale skinned too and my scars are barely visible.

Jugs 517 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 My surgeon gave me a massive role of the silicone scar tape in my take home care pack. My partner can’t even find my scars ? I’m sure as long as you get a good product they will all work really well. I HaveBoobs and sabP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
