Always care for the scar according to your doctor’s instructions.
If you have a button-up shirt, close the buttons all the way up until your scar is covered.
Do not wear jewelry until the wound is healed. Talk to your doctor to learn when you can start wearing necklaces.
A scarf can also protect your scar from the sun, which may help it fade faster.
Dermablend and Dermaflage are both special brands of makeup that are designed to cover scars. You can also use drugstore brands. Most stores will have a consultant who can help you find the perfect concealer.
These are most effective in the first few months after surgery. Do not use silicone sheets while the wound is still healing.
