Post mastectomy scar management
Just wanting some advice on what products work best to minimise the scars after a double flat mastectomy.

Hi Bees
I had a lumpectomy and my surgeon put me onto Kelocote .... a gel to put onto the scar - a little bit goes a LONG WAY .... I didn't even finish the one 6g tube (as a tiny bit really DOES go a LONG way!) You only put it on the scar - not all over the flesh .... Given your double mastectomy, I'd suggest getting the next size up (15g). My scarring is virtually non-existent!
Check out Amazon.com.au for the Kelo-Cote gel - it has a significantly lower price than most pharmacies and this site too:

You do NOT put it onto broken skin tho - so the wound needs to have healed before starting it xx (No weeping/scabs etc)
take care & all the best xx
