Silicone scar sheets for thigh lift

it seems that these are one of the better bets for healing but I am trying to figure out which ones are the best size to get for such a long scar?  Did any of you buy a certain one that you would recommend?

WHICH   ones are FDA cleared?  Embrace? 

My dr will have me use   bioCorneum  shortly for my extended arm lift - 2in below elbow through armpit and 3 inches down side chest wall.  It's an FDA approved lotion.  I am not healed enough for either yet, but the sheets looked interesting - not sure worth the expense.  Someone said they last half the time they are supposed to.   

Thanks for asking question - I'll be looking for feedback from anyone who has used the sheets.

I bought this silicone tape after my arm lift/breast lift. I used it more in certain spots to prevent irritation.

Silicone tape

Also was given the bioCorneum

Did you use the bioCoreum on the other spots.   Was the 3/4 in wide tape wide enough?  I m doing well everywhere but my armpits and side of chest seem to take abuse from arm motions.

Yes that is why I used it in those spots for awhile. Funny in one of the reviews a woman talks about using tbem together, but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe I wasn't patient enohgh and needed to let the bioCorneum dry better first or something. The 3/4 inch was fine. I did order the wider also for upcoming surgery, in case I need it.

Just ordered - amazon said it would be delivered on Mon. I see DrM on Tues so I will know when I can start using it.  Insc are healing but sore if I do much.

Have a safe drive down and a good night's rest for Monday.
