What Scar Treatments Are Available Following An Abdominoplasty?

LG - Scar Treatments

As many of you know I was a major investigator in the Neodyne scar treatment study in the September 2014 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal.  In the Neodyne study we used silicone gel sheeting applied to abdominoplasty tummy tuck scars in a trial to see if the scar treatment worked.

Now, after enrolling many patients and following them for a year, our study has been published in the September 2014 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal.  Neodyne has renamed the product Embrace, and the silicone sheets are available for purchase through doctors offices.

See the study here: “A randomized controlled trial of the embrace advanced scar therapy device to reduce incisional scar formation” September 2014 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal.
