scar treatment

Hello,

I'm new here.  I recently had a breast lift, panni/tummy tuck and thigh lift with groin and inner thigh incision.  I have lost 105 pounds prior to this surgery.  I My surgery was June 23, 2014.  I am starting to heal well, but still swollen but as I read this site that is normal.

Few questions:  when do I start scar treatment

                        what treatment do you suggest

                        if you suggest tape or sheets how does it stay on as I am pulling on my compression garments

                        I still have some scabs is it too early?

Thanks for any replies I get.  I am learning  alot being on this site.

I would talk to your surgeon about this. Scar treatment will depend on your particular scars (i.e., scar thickening, puckering, etc.) and your PS should be able to tell you what you need, if anything. For reducing the appearance of scars that don't need specific medical intervention, my surgeon recommends a product called Biocorneum. Your PS can give you information on this as well.

Coconut oil available at walmart in the vitamin section for 10 dollars. stir it before you put it on yourself or the cat. good for both.
