Scar management after plastic surgery
Most cosmetic surgeries are performed through an incision. Even if the surgery went well, scarring can occur if the surgery was done in a visible area. However, depending on how you take care of your treatment area after surgery, the scars can be either subtle or noticeable. If the incision is either wide or the surgery was performed on a visible area, it is recommended to apply anti-scar ointment after surgery. As for a Facelift or Rhinoplasty, it is recommended to apply anti-scar ointment for 6 months after the removal of stitches. However, in the case of Blepharoplasty, the ointment may get into the eyes, so the use of ointment varies depending on the eyelid condition. Even if the stitches are removed after surgery, you need to take care of the surgery site. Depending on the surgery, you may be advised to apply waterproof tape. It is important to follow the post-surgery instructions given at the clinic to avoid the appearance of scars....
