Thank you @melclarity for this discussion thread.
It's now 2024. 7 years on, but I think it is still sound advice I have read in here from everyone. I was having terrible trouble with taping my scars to flatten them out with the paper (micropore) tape I'd been given by the surgeon. It doesn't help that I have a reaction to some tapes. The scars under my breasts in particular very itchy, red and skin peeling in places :disappointed:
I've switched to what I think is silicone tape (3M Nexcare sensitive) now after reading this thread and am hoping that will improve my situation. I have also purchased Bio oil in preparation and thanks to @nikkid I will also consider using the back of an electric toothbrush to help with massage.
@melclarity if that scar management contact is still relevant in Melbourne, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
