Caring And Reducing Scars From Breast Surgery Russellville AR

By Cynthia Howard


Women love a flawless skin. It is a big source of confidence and will allow them to enjoy outdoor living on the beach or using particular type of clothing. However, breast surgery Russellville AR is likely to leave you with scars. Experienced surgeons and dermatologists have given their take on how to reduce scarring. Here are tips on care for your skin and the wound after the procedure.

Surgery should be done using the latest procedures and technology. You should also choose a surgeon who is experienced and understands how to complete a procedure without leaving a scar. The idea is to make the scar as small as possible and do the procedure in a concealed area. It saves you the trouble of dealing with scars later in life.

The doctor issues instructions on how to care for your wound. Follow these instructions diligently. Even as you care for the wound, it must be clear that surgical procedures always leave a scar. It is the care you give that determines how fast it heals and whether it will be visible. Wounds that are not handled in a professional way leave scars that are a nuisance.

Keep your skin moist. Moisturizing your breasts should be done using lotions and oil at the same time. The skin dries up, causing it to crack and leave you with a painful scar. Take enough water to keep your skin from cracking. Use oil when exposing your breasts and even when it is hot. This will also promote healing because the tissues are soft.

Keep away from tight clothing. Tight cloths end up rubbing against the skin. Such rubbing takes off any oil on the surface and also leaves you irritated. Use a support bra routinely to protect your breasts from sagging and stretching. Stretching pulls the cut areas apart. Choose clothes that are relaxing and loose on the wound until it heals completely.

The scarred area should remain shielded from the sun. Heat from the sun leaves the skin dry and caked, resulting in pain. The cracks caused by UV rays are also damaging to the affected area. This has an impact on the quality of healing of your wound. Even with a healed scar, it will irritate when exposed to the sun. Sunscreen will protect your skin and scar from direct sun rays.

Exercises should be done with moderation. Exercise is recommended because it stretches the skin and allows it to tighten and appear normal. However, the stretching will pull apart the tissues that were beginning to heal. Wait for a while before showering with hot water. Hot water is likely to melt the oil on your skin, leaving the surface caked, dry and irritated.

Monitor how your scar responds to treatment. Take all medication prescribed and instructions on care of your wound. Overall health determines how quickly you heal and the type of wound left. A younger person will also heal faster than an older one. Allow the surgeon to check on your healing progress to ensure that it is on track.
