Can Mederma reduce scars after breast surgery?

Question:

Can Mederma or something similar be used on the scars following breast lift surgery?

Answer:

I like Mederma a lot a lot and I like Mederma with sunscreen. I used it almost exquisitely for four or five years. In the last year, I have transitioned first to Kelo-Cote, and most recently to Biocornium, which is like Kelo-Cote with sunscreen. There is pretty good research for Kelo-Cote, and it seems to do a better job of smoothing out a scar. I think Mederma might be a little bit better for a red scar, but overall I prefer Kelo-Cote. In fact, itested these head to head on two halves of a scar on my daughter and found the Kelo-Cote silicone type product to be better. Therefore, the only thing we offer at our office anymore is Biocornium, which is again Kelo-Cote with sunscreen.
