Self-care for your scar is an integral part of recovery.
Scar therapy is a new addition to the rehab protocols. Though it was introduced to the UK around 10 years ago there is now a growing body of evidence supporting it's use and it is now widely recommended after any surgery. Now you are not just advised to keep an eye out for infection but to actively encourage heaing healing with scar therapy.
Once you are sure the scar is well healed, daily massage, hydration and stimulation will help the appearance, sensation and mobility, ensuring a health happy scar :)
