There are many kinds of breast surgery procedures out there— breast augmentation, breast lifts, breast reductions, and, of course, the mastectomy. Whatever the nature of your procedure, we've found that silicone is by far the best scar-healing ingredient, and is usually the recommended option for post-operative scar treatment.
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!
The Most Common Breast Procedures
Our silicone scar sheets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes— including 5 tailored specifically to breast procedures! Which one you will need for healing breast surgery scars, however, will depend on the incision, no the procedure.
Let's take a closer look at some of the most common breast procedures and which types of incisions they're usually paired with.
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.
Common Incision Types:
| The Breast Lollipop Pair | A pair of lollipop shaped silicone scar sheets designed specifically for scars resulting from Mastopexy. The breast lollipop pair helps treat scarring from breast reconstruction scars. |
| 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.
Common Incision Types:
| The 1.5″ x 3″ Breast Pair | Silicone sheets designed to help reduce the appearance of scars. These scar sheets minimize scars from breast fold augmentations. |
| 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.
Common Incision Types:
| The Breast Anchor | This kit includes a pair of anchor-shaped silicone scar sheets created to minimize and diminish the look and feel of breast augmentation scars and breast reconstruction scars. Includes 2 silicone scar sheets and a roll of hypoallergenic medical tape. |
Good to know: this is by far not an exhaustive list. Your surgeon may use any one of these incisions for your breast procedure, or they may choose a different incision entirely! So be sure to ask your doc for the specific incision type to help you pick out the right Scar Fx silicone scar sheet!
