Patients often have questions after surgery on how to best manage their scars after a breast augmentation surgery. I typically tell patients that for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery, just let your body heal. Steri-strips are typically placed on the incision for two to three weeks. After three weeks the steri-strips are removed. It is important not to put on any additional creams or ointments during this time. At around 4-6 weeks, scars tend to be their thickest and most indurated. After six weeks the scars start to mature and soften.
