Looking After Your Cosmetic Surgery Scar

Cosmetic surgery may leave you feeling great, but if you’re concerned about the remaining scar, there are some things you can do during the healing process to help improve the appearance of your scar:

• Massaging your scar is an important part of your treatment regime. Remember to do a ‘dry massage’ before applying any moisturiser or silicone gel.*
• Avoid too much exposure to the sun. Scar tissue is very sensitive, this makes it very easy for scars to get sunburnt.**
• Extremes of temperature can make itchy scars worse, particularly heat so avoid very hot baths or showers.**
• Applying a silicone gel such as KELO-COTE^® advanced formula to a healed scar will help both keep it hydrated and prevent it from drying out.
