Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jay Orringer presents helpful videos that answer many common questions patients ask about procedures and treatments.
In terms of scar care, which I think is an important issue for any patient, I really like to see the patient more frequently early on so that we can begin scar care often after the first three to four weeks beginning some type of silicone scar treatment. There are silicone strips which can be applied to breast scars and abdominal scars. There's silicone topical gels that can be applied to facial scars, for example, even to breast and abdominal scars. To some degree, it is the treatment that is most convenient for the patient. But, I do feel that some form of consistent topical scar care may provide flatter scars, and perhaps scars with a more aesthetic appearance in a shorter period of time.
