Removing Tape

[macman213]

Hi-

My plastic surgeon told me I should remove the tape covering the Lipo incisions. I failed to ask him what, if any special care I should take once I do (and if there is any cream like Mederma I should be putting on). I tried to get in touch with him, but wasn't able to... some guidance would be great!

Thanks!

I have patients either use mederma or scar guard on the incisions.Most important is keeping the incisions out of the sun until they mature ,typically 6 to 8 months.
