Hi, what is your opinion on massaging the scar, 3 weeks post OP? My doctor said no, but I saw a video that said massage is the most important thing that will help the scar look better. just wondered what you think.
Could you recommend what brands? Of silicone tape and silicone gel to get money is an issue for me but I do need something or if I just get one of them which would I prefer do you think I know you said you should take during the Night and cream during the day? Thank you for responding and reading
Thanks for the information. I was unaware that the scar take longer to heal if you are black.
dark skin complexions take longer for scar to fully fade.
I think they look nice as blended on dark skin
Thank so much for the information, super helpful!
you're welcome!
Thank you so much for this information.

Great info! Is it okay to use ab board after tummy tuck if belly button hasn’t heal completely ?
I don't use boards. so defer to other surgeons who do.
Can you tell us the name of the silicone strips and the ointment you recommend?
Oleeva silicone tapes. Biocorneum silicone gel ointment. amazing products!
@@RolandoMoralesJr do you recommend embrace scar therapy?
@@priscillas5144 love it! but it is more expensive. its hard enough to convince people that silicone therapy is worth the extra money.
How do I clean the scab out of my belly button?
peroxide.
Hi, Dr. Morales. How much are your products and where can I buy them.
they are at my office. and medspa
Hello, what is the name of the medical glue that you mention to keep the incision line to not expand? You speak about it around 2:35.Thank you.
its called Prineo. awesome dressing! I use it for all body contouring procedures.
Do you ever use mesh in your tummy tucks?
Yes!!! I use a absorbable mesh (suture material) to overlay the diastesis repair.
@@RolandoMoralesJr ok. I’d never heard anything about it. I consulted with a surgeon who mentioned that he might have to use it with me.
@@DaBosslady75 ok
@@RolandoMoralesJr Thank you so much for responding 😊

listen to YOUR DR. not Dr tick-tock or Dr google. especially non plastic surgeons. they are the bane of my existence. lol. leaches for clicks.
I just ordered strips from newgelplus. Do you thing there are good or i need to order from another company?
any silicone products work great
How long do I need to use silicone tape for? I’m 3 months post op.
recommend 6 months minimum silicone therapy
Will the strips and gel work if I’m a year post op and scars are still thick and dark?
Thank you very much. I am AA. I am y days post op
How often should I change my silicone gel with tape?
the silicone strips I use. they are reusable. change nightly.
When is the perfect time to start using the silicone scar gel and stripes? I am 10 days op. Thank you!
I start it at 2 months for my patients.
I was said to wash the scar with soap and a baby whipe before putting the silicone tape. Should I wash it before putting the tape?
skin needs to be clean and dry.
