Scar Revision - After Surgery
Dressings are either antibiotic ointment along or surgical tapes. Sutures may be under the skin which don't require removal or, if above the skin, are taken out in 5 to 7 days. Once the sutures are removed, tapes may be applied for an additional several weeks to support the closure. In most scar revisions, longer-term topical therapy should be started by three weeks after surgery and continued for three months. A topical scar modeling ointment is my preferred choice at this time.
