The Importance of Silicone Scar Therapy in Breast Surgery Healing: How – Rejûvaskin

Breast surgery—whether augmentation, lift, reduction, or reconstruction—can transform your appearance and confidence. But for many patients, concerns about scarring remain. Thankfully, science-backed silicone scar therapy offers one of the most effective ways to minimize scars and support smooth, healthy healing.

In this guide, we’ll explain how Rejuvaskin’s Silicone Scar Sheets and Advanced Silicone Scar Gel help reduce breast surgery scars and how to use each product correctly for the best results.

Why Silicone Scar Therapy is Critical After Breast Surgery

Surgical scars form as your body heals, but without proper care, breast scars can become thick, raised, or darkened. Silicone scar therapy is widely recommended by surgeons because it helps:

Hydrate the scar tissue to prevent thickening
Flatten and soften raised scars
Improve scar color and texture
Protect sensitive healing skin

Backed by Research:

Studies show that silicone therapy improves the appearance, flexibility, and color of scars, especially after breast surgery. Patients who used silicone plasters after mastectomy reported less visible scarring and better scar texture (Lipińska et al., 2017).

Other studies confirm that starting silicone treatment early reduces the risk of hypertrophic (raised) scars and improves overall healing (Kaminskyi et al., 2021).

How to Use Rejuvaskin Silicone Scar Sheets for Breast Surgery Scars

Step 1: Start Silicone Therapy Once Approved by Your Surgeon

Most surgeons recommend starting silicone therapy once your incisions are fully closed and healed, usually 2-3 weeks after surgery.

Step 2: Apply Rejuvaskin Silicone Scar Sheets

Cut the sheet to fit your scar
Apply directly over the scar with the adhesive side down
Wear the sheet for 8-12 hours daily
Wash and reuse the sheet as directed for up to two weeks

Silicone sheets work especially well on long incisions like anchor or lollipop scars from breast lifts or reductions. Read more.

How to Use Rejuvaskin Advanced Silicone Scar Gel for Breast Surgery Scars

For areas where sheets are hard to apply—like around the nipple or in the breast crease—Rejuvaskin’s Advanced Silicone Scar Gel is the better option.

Apply a thin layer of gel directly on the scar twice daily
Allow the gel to fully dry before dressing or putting on a bra
Continue use for at least 8-12 weeks for the best results

The lightweight gel dries clear, making it ideal for everyday use under clothing.

Boost Your Results with Rejuvaskin Skin Recovery Cream

Before applying silicone sheets or gel, prep the skin with Rejuvaskin’s Skin Recovery Cream to:

Strengthen the skin barrier
Soothe irritation
Maintain hydration

Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides support overall skin health and recovery.

How Long Should You Use Silicone Scar Therapy?

For most patients, daily use for 8 to 12 weeks is recommended. In some cases, especially with larger or more complex scars, your surgeon may recommend continuing treatment for up to 6 months.

Silicone therapy can also help improve older scars up to two years old.
