After Care for Scar Revision
Everything seems very promising at this stage, two weeks after a scar revision procedure. I am wondering whether there is anything proactive that I can do to help minimize the presence of the new scar. (Besides avoiding exercise involving unexpected head-turning.) Such as:
– applying onion-based anti-scarring ointment; or
– not applying onion-based anti-scarring ointment;
– or using or not using some other topical thing.Thanks for everything!
I think that patience is a virtue and if the surgery was done well, that should suffice. Applications of any topical ointment may be pointless at this time. If hypertrophic scarring should occur, then you may need to take a look at it as it forms. Stretching of the scar will take time, as stretching usually starts to become evident at about 6 weeks. Keep in touch with your doctor if anything worries you.
