Let's take some time to discuss the various kinds of breast procedures out there and which of our Scar Fx silicone scar sheeting will work best for you!
But first:
What Is Scar Fx Silicone Sheeting?

Scar Fx is self-adhering and contours easily to any part of the body, while also being extremely durable, and the best part is you can wash and reuse your scar sheets! Silicone scar sheeting is considered the “gold standard” in scar management. It works to enhance the natural scar healing process to soften and flatten stubborn raised scarring, which makes this the perfect post-procedure product to minimize your risk of surgery scarring.
The Most Common Breast Procedures (& The Best Scar Fx Sheeting Options For Each)
Mastoplexy
Also called breast lifts, women choose to have a mastoplexy when their breasts begin to sag due to either age or the skin not being strong enough to support the weight of the breasts. During a breast lift, your surgeon will remove this excess skin to create a more lifted appearance to your breasts.

- The 3″ Breast Circle Pair: This package includes two circular-shaped silicone scar sheet developed specifically to contour to the unique shape of your breasts. This scar sheet is used for Mastopexy scars or other procedures specific to the breast.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is performed to enhance the appearance, size and contour of a woman's breasts. Women consider breast augmentation for different reasons such as wanting larger breasts, after experiencing a loss of size in breasts, or just wanting a lifted appearance in the breast.

- The Breast Piece Pair: Two silicone scar sheets developed specifically for breast augmentation procedures, which aim to make women’s breast larger, fuller, and more lifted.
Breast Reconstruction
A woman may need breast reconstruction to recreate a breast due to breast cancer or other diseases that contribute to the loss of a breast. During this procedure the nipple can also be recreated.
