Here's my top surgery scar care routine in 10 seconds (learn more about what silicone scar tape does below)! There are many different types of scar care and aftercare! This scar tape is the one recommended by my surgeon, but it's ALWAYS good to ask your specific surgeon about what they recommend for you since everyone's body heals differently! :) Silicone scar tape helps with the following: • keeps scars hydrated • absorbs tensions • flattens scars • repairs collagen in the area of the incision • promotes connective tissue formation
