A scar will never completely go away, but there are some methods that can help reduce its size and appearance. Contemporary Design, Inc. offers various options to help reduce the appearance of post-op scarring. Discuss scarring prevention options with your doctor prior to surgery. 

Scar Therapy: Scars and Skin Care

Medical studies have shown that when you use scar gels, creams and silicone sheeting properly, you have up to an 80 percent chance of seeing a significant reduction in your scars.

Just as you want your compression garments and accessories on hand when you need them you will want to shop for scar therapy and camouflage makeup to disguise bruising and swelling so that you feel confident in public. Hats, sunglasses and scarves may also be helpful.

Sun exposure should also be discussed with your doctor and the appropriate SPF products should become an ongoing part of your régime.

If you have any questions about which post surgical compression garments or healing aids are right for you, feel free to call us at 800-330-6300 or continue to browse our website and contact us at info@contemporarydesigninc.com. We're here to help.
