I had a TT two years ago and used silicone sheets with much success. You have to look closely to see a scar.

For the sleeve scars I have been using silicone nipple covers. They are working great so far. I bought them on amazon for a couple of dollars a pair.

Pardon my ignorance' date=' but how do silicone nipple covers help scars?[/quote']

They are made from the same gel as are silicone sheets.

Is there a certain brand name you are using? I noticed the mederma and scar away are pretty expensive

How early can you start using things like that?

I used these on my TT scar. You can buy different sizes of sheets of silicone on this site as well if you prefer to use these instead of the nipple covers. They had the best price I found.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your help :)

You can use them as soon as the skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting at the site.

Ok, great! Thanks!

Do they self adheisive? Do u tape them on?

allons-y

I'm 5 weeks out and using the silicone sheets. Based on my reasearch the best thing for scar healing is protecting them from drying out so the sheets work very well. I looked up mederma vs silicone sheets and the sheets came out the winner. Guess we will see in a few months!
