Silagen Scar ManagementĀ for Breast Reconstruction Scarring
At The Breast Center,Ā Silagen Scar TherapyĀ one of the most effective options for managing scars afterĀ breast reconstruction. Silagen silicone sheeting improves scars by providing a combination of occlusion (seals the scar from exposure to air), hydration, elevated skin temperature and continuous light pressure. It prevents the skin from producing excessive scar tissue, and helps the scar to stay flat, soft and less red.
In addition to Silagen, other treatments that can refine scar appearance include:
- Aesthetic treatmentsĀ to improve texture and reduce discoloration
- Steroid injections for thickened or raised scars.
Dr. Christopher Williams or Dr. Jeremy Williams will collaborate with you to develop your personalized scar management plan.
