A member asked:
For plastic surgeons, how do they battle incision marks on the skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin incisions: When planning where to put incisions, i usually try to have the end result in as least conspicuous an area as possible. Beyond that, i encourage use of topical silicone gel for at least three months, scar massage, avoidance of daylight exposure for three months, and use of sunscreen.
