The Role of Silicone Treatment in Scar Management - Prof Dr. Robert Hierner

Every fresh scar should have scar suppression therapy. In principle, silicone therapy is suitable for any fresh scar, as it primarily reduces the redness and thus the visibility of the scar.

SCAR MANAGEMENT:

Why and how to use silicone gels for scars and marks ? 

What are scars ? 

Scars are a natural part of the healing process and form when the body repairs and replaces damaged skin tissue. There are various treatments and products available that claim to improve the appearance of scars, such as topical creams, gels, silicone sheets, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. However, the effectiveness of these treatments can vary depending on the type of scar and individual factors.

Formation of scars:

Different scars can form in different ways depending on the type of injury or wound. Here are some common types of scar formations:

1. Normal Scars: Normal scars are the typical result of the skin's natural healing process. They form when the body repairs and replaces damaged skin tissue. Normal scars may appear slightly raised, pink or red in color initially, but they usually fade and flatten over time.

2. Hypertrophic Scars: Hypertrophic scars are characterized by an overgrowth of collagen during the healing process. They are raised, thickened, and may be red or darker in color compared to the surrounding skin. Unlike keloid scars, hypertrophic scars do not extend beyond the original wound site.

3. Keloid Scars: Keloid scars are similar to hypertrophic scars but extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound. They result from an excessive production of collagen during the healing process and can be thick, raised, and often have a shiny or smooth appearance. Keloid scars may continue to grow over time and can be more difficult to treat.

4. Atrophic Scars: Atrophic scars occur when there is a loss of underlying tissue during the healing process. They can appear as indentations or depressions in the skin, and examples include acne scars and some surgical scars.

5. Contracture Scars: Contracture scars typically occur after burns or significant tissue loss. They can result in tight, shiny, and rigid scars that restrict movement due to the tightening of the surrounding skin and tissue.

6. Stretch Marks: Stretch marks, also known as striae, are a type of scar that forms when the skin stretches rapidly, such as during pregnancy or periods of rapid growth. They appear as streaks or lines on the skin, often with a slightly different texture or color.

How silicone works on scars ? 

Silicone-based products: Silicone gels, sheets, or patches are often used to manage scars. They create a protective barrier and help hydrate the scar, reducing its prominence over time. Here's how silicone works on scars:

1. Moisture retention: Silicone forms a breathable barrier over the scar that helps to trap moisture and keep the scar hydrated. This hydration can improve the overall texture and appearance of the scar.

2. Flattening and softening: Silicone can help flatten and soften raised or hypertrophic scars by applying constant pressure on the scar tissue. This pressure may help break down excessive collagen and encourage a more organized and controlled healing process.

3. Protection and healing environment: Silicone acts as a protective layer that shields the scar from external factors like bacteria, dirt, and UV radiation, which can potentially hinder the healing process. By creating a favorable environment, silicone promotes proper healing and minimizes the risk of complications.

4. Regulation of collagen production: Silicone has been shown to modulate the production of collagen, which is a key component of scar tissue. It helps normalize collagen synthesis, preventing the excessive formation of collagen fibers that can contribute to raised or keloid scars.

5. Reduction of redness and discoloration: Silicone may help reduce the redness and discoloration often associated with scars by providing an occlusive barrier that helps regulate blood flow and decrease melanin production.

How to apply silicone gel over scars ? 

When applying silicone gel over a scar, it's important to follow the instructions provided by the specific product you are using. However, here are some general guidelines for applying silicone gel over a scar:

Clean the scar: Start by cleaning the scar and the surrounding skin gently with mild soap and water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.

Ensure the scar is completely dry: Make sure the scar is completely dry before applying the silicone gel. Moisture can interfere with the effectiveness of the gel. 

Apply a thin layer: Take a small amount of silicone gel and apply a thin layer directly onto the scar. Spread it evenly over the scar using clean fingertips or a clean applicator, following the direction of the scar.

Massage the gel: Gently massage the silicone gel into the scar using circular motions. This can help improve absorption and ensure even distribution of the gel over the scar.

Allow the gel to dry: Allow the silicone gel to dry completely before covering it with clothing or applying any other products. Follow the specific instructions provided with the silicone gel product regarding drying time.

Why Is Silicone Gel Good for Treating Scars

Silicone gel is a type of medical adhesive that is often used to treat wounds and scars. It is a soft, pliable material that sticks to the skin and seals in moisture. Scar treatment is an important part of any person’s overall health and wellness regime. Scarring can be the result of a variety of factors, including accidents and surgeries. If left untreated, scars can cause emotional distress and disrupt your daily life. Visit Us - https://actoutloud.org/why-makes-silicone-gel-good-for-scar-treatment/

Hiiiii since u take nsfw requests, can I get one of FEM!reader pegging Miguel? I just need to see his tight hole pounded by his sweet girl's strap for a change. Thank you!

SO yummy omg.

Pairing: sub!miguel o’hara x dom!f!reader

Warnings: 18+, praise kink, prone bone, use of strap-on, anal (m. receiving)

Summary: you give miguel a well-deserved break

A/N: was weighing up making this mean dom or soft dom reader but opted for soft dom because migs is just a stressed little baby 🥺 (he's a 6'9, mutant adult man who could kick me so hard I fly into the sun and disintegrate)

Word Count: 831 (not proofread, probably some errors towards the end)

After a long, demanding day of work, all Miguel wanted was some kind of relief, which he immediately found in your embrace. Your touch, your scent, your smile, it all made Miguel feel at ease. Your presence allowed him to sink further into the mattress as you sit on top of his ass, your hands kneading and massaging the taut musculature of his broad shoulders. He couldn’t help the breathy moans leaving his plump lips as his muscles unravelled from their tense knots… and your hips pressed against his ass after a particularly deep thrust.

You pull your sparkly black strap-on almost all the way out so that the silicone is just kissing his puckered hole, before bottoming out once again in a slow, sensual rhythm that has Miguel mewling. His body lays flat against the bed, handsome face tucked away on top of his folded arms to muffle his pretty sounds, his heavy cock messily grinding against the plush mattress in time with your thrusts, the sheets damp and stained with cum and sweat.

“Así, mami. Se siente tan bien, tan jodidamente bien.” Miguel whimpers, lifting his hips up to meet your deep strokes with a choked whine. The sound of the lube squelching inside of his ass and both of your exasperated huffs make Miguel feel lightheaded, his renowned intellect becoming unintelligible babbling as the big dildo strapped to your stunning body stretches him out and drags against his tight walls. This moment with you, not worrying about his responsibilities or being in control, feels like heaven. Miguel has been craving a release, a way to force himself to escape the pressures of being a leader, and a protector. What better way than getting fucked by his pretty girl? (“Just like that, mommy. Feels so good, so fucking good.”)

With his fangs exposed, his claws tearing through the sheets, and throaty groans escaping from his lips, Miguel melts onto your cock. Miguel feels his stress dissipating with each thrust, your fat strap's bulbous head nuzzling his most sensitive, deepest parts and massaging his prostate. To keep Miguel somewhat grounded, you place a hand on his toned, slender waist. You also remind yourself to keep your gentle rhythm and concentrate on Miguel's pleasure, even though part of you wants to see the man who regularly spears you on his cock receive the same, deliciously rough treatment. But Miguel needs this moment of love and devotion, and you’ll do anything to remind your handsome man of your devotion to him and how proud you are of him.

“This tight hole was made for me, taking me so well,” You whisper, leaning over his wide, muscular back so that your honeyed praises still reach his fucked-out brain. “Mi niño bonito. You love my cock so much, huh, Mig?”

Miguel struggles to lift his head from his forearms, but he does so to look back at you, his handsome face covered in drool and tears as your sweet words and deep thrusts cause his eyes to roll back and he nods dumbly in response. You watch with awe and parted lips as Miguel’s hole pulses around you, causing the remnants of lube inside of him to bubble and ooze down his cheeks. It makes you giggle to see him approaching his climax once again, your hips rolling against him passionately as your hands wander across the glistening tan skin of his back, gliding your fingertips across his muscles and scars to worship his body as you make love to him.

His jaw goes slack as he moans and whines as you angle your sparkly strap-on to caress his sweet spot, the benevolence of your thrusts making him conflicted between crying and cumming. Against his own will, he chooses the latter.

Miguel desperately humps the ruffled sheets beneath him as he bucks his hips back and forth to encourage the depth of your movements, but the second your hands squeeze his waist to remind him to calm down and let you take care of him, he’s shooting thick, sticky ropes of his delicious cum into the puddle of his past loads accumulating beneath his abs, the sudden warmth against his bare skin making him whimper as his thick thighs shake and his back arches, subsequently making his ass press against the base of your strap-on.

“Sh-Shock’s sake…” Miguel pants, letting his head fall back down against his sturdy arms as you pull out of him, tapping his spasming hole with the tip of your silicone cock to beckon a few more moans from Miguel. “Gracias, mi reina. N-Needed that. Needed you to make me feel good.”

“Of course, baby. Anytime. I’m here for you.” You whisper, climbing off of Miguel and laying on your side next to him, the bedsheets squelching underneath you as Miguel’s cum spreads and darkens the material. The mess of juices was gonna be a bitch to clean up. But then again, so was the mess that is Miguel O’Hara.

I'm feeling evil and wanna post some miguel angst soon.

Okay now you got me really interested SO here's the itwall prompt: cphil and cdream doing scar care

well if you insist..... (context)

/dsmp /rp

"On your stomach, lad."

Dream chuckled at the gentle command, his robe hitting the ground as he shrugged it off. Commands like these were casual and comfortable between the two of them; Dream knew that he could disobey if he wanted. He usually settled on a bit of playful back-talk. "You could take me to dinner first?"

"I cooked your dinner myself three hours ago."

"Okay, fair."

Slowly, Dream lowered himself to the mattress, gathering a pillow in his arms and placing it beneath his chest for a bit of extra padding. The candlelight danced across the dramatic valleys of his skeleton and the rips and tears of his skin, casting uneven shadows across his pale back. The sun dropped below the treeline a while ago, and the arctic enjoyed a peaceful and windless evening. Philza proposed that they try a bit of anti-scarring treatment before bed, and Dream agreed to give it a try.

Philza removed a bit of dressing-- a piece of gauze taped over a fresher wound on Dream's side-- and Dream could feel Phil's weight shift on the mattress as he leaned back and observed.

Feeling eyes on him, Dream peaked over his shoulder. "Yeah?"

"You'd think I'd be used to seeing your scars by now." The lid of a container popped open. "But it still hits me sometimes."

"Do they gross you out?"

"Nah. They're just scars. I have them, too." From his limited vantage, Dream saw Phil's blonde hair spill over his shoulder, pooling at his collarbone. His hair was loose. He was dressed for bed. "I'm just... always surprised by how deeply humans can hate."

Dream didn't hate his scars. Well, he hated some of them. The worst of them were on his back. A bracket smile, drawn with unsteady lines. The word "bitch," written in a broken, brutalist font.

"I'm going to massage some silicone gel on the scars," Phil said, "in little circular motions. It might take a while, mate."

"Mm-hmm."

Dream flinched when Phil's fingers, cool from the silicone, touched between his shoulder blades. The temperature simply surprised him. Phil whispered a quiet "You alright?" before proceeding, and upon getting permission in the form of a nod, moved his fingers firmly across the expanse of a scar. It might've been the bracket smile. Dream didn't quite remember its placement.

"The pressure will help the edges flatten," Phil explained in a low voice, "and the jelly moisturizes it to help the discoloring."

The skin was sensitive. As Phil pressed his fingers in, the nerves responded by breaking into chills. Dream's next exhale was shaky.

"Tell me if I'm hurting you."

"No-- No, you're not. I-- fuck, it's just sensitive."

Philza recognized the effects of pleasure when he saw them. "Mm."

It took twenty minutes to finish the massage. Twenty long, vulnerable minutes of squirming and sighing, fighting back the urge to groan. Something about it was so primally satisfying. His skin has been begging for gentle treatment for months. Begging for Philza's fingers along his ribcage, his stomach, his chest, his hands. Even the deep scar along the edge of his jawline got Philza's attention. The slime of the silicone was cold in the winter air, but not uncomfortable.

The candlelight illuminated Phil's golden eyelashes. "Still alright?" he asked, his fingertips on a long scar across Dream's lower abdominal muscles.

Dream nodded, a small smile on his lips.

Have you used silicone tape before? I used it on my top surgery scars for months and it did exactly nothing

It can take up to a year for a scar like that to completely settle and heal. It’s not a superficial scar, it goes through many layers of skin and tissue. As frustrating as it is, to get a result with silicone scar strips, you have to use them pretty much constantly for over a year. Scarring is also largely genetic, so it will help some people and not others. Luckily I do not scar very badly and don’t get keloids. Others are not as fortunate

If it’s been almost 2 years and you still aren’t satisfied with the appearance, there are laser treatments sometimes available for deep scars. You may need to venture to a major city to find a doctor/clinic willing to do it and save a few hundred dollars for it. But it’s worth it to some people.

Turning tragedy into hope-Let him lose those arms

I’ve tried making this post three times so let’s hope that third times the charm y’all.

I’m just gonna come out and say it but when I saw that panel where Izuku doesn’t have any hands I literally got so excited.

AND ITS NOT BECAUSE I LIKE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER GETTING BRUTALIZED (well? I do think it’s a little funny but shhh)

But it’s because this has been foreshadowed almost as much as the handhold itself between Izuku and Katsuki. And it’s wonderfully tragic in the best of ways. Literally half of the commentary surrounding it when it came out in the leaks was “omg I thought of that!” Because literally everyone and their mother KNEW this was coming in some form. Izuku was going to lose an arm, and that would be the case.

Hell, even outside of the story the amount of official art and AU’s Horikoshi drew that had Izuku without an arm is astounding. Like it’s so painfully obvious that this was coming, and so he upped the shock when he made Izuku lose them both.

Izuku is even doing his white eye thing, he isn’t shocked, he’s angry. My dude is pissed. Clearly, to me at least, the loss of his hands is less of a shock to him and more so that he’s angry that afo took away the reason he lost them in the first place—Tenko.

Y’all gotta remember who Izuku is, he’s the stubborn motherfucker that refused time and time again to give up on his dreams, he’s the one that illegally saved Iida and Katsuki, he’s the one that refused to let go of Tenko’s hands because when he was in his time of need, it comforted him.

Izuku has been told by his doctors for over a year atp that he was going to eventually either lose his hands, or lose the function within them. He’s accepted that. He can try to stop it, hold it off through equipment and treatment, but at the end of the day, everything breaks eventually. He knows that. We know that.

So if he was going to lose his arms in some way, it’d be through this: saving someone, holding their hands, never letting go, comforting them.

It’s tragic and sacrificial, but Aizawa’s the same. Did we make theories about how Eri is gonna heal him from being an amputee? Did the story say “actually due to this cool magical illusion/quirk it was all a mirage/eri could heal it”? No, it didn’t. Did Mirko somehow get her arms and legs back because they’re tied to how she views her strength? No, she didn’t.

And there’s a reason they didn’t. Multiple reasons they didn’t. They’re heroes, their scars tell their stories.

Not even mentioning how that’s such a trope (“everyone else keeps their long term injuries except for the main character because he’s special and gets main character powers, like not getting a disability from a dangerous job! :)”), but why should eri, a little girl, be responsible for everyone’s injuries? She doesn’t even have full control yet, she’s playing it by day. (People LOVE to talk about how all the 1-A kids are just kids fighting in a war, except when it comes to a little girl being responsible for everyone’s injuries, somehow)

The reason eri was shown wasn’t because she was going to somehow save the day, but because she wasn’t. It was supposed to stop those theories from having actual merit, because eri doesn’t actually have the built up strength to help.

So, with that out of the way, I wanted to say how this is so fucking beautiful. It’s tragic yes, Izuku and Katsuki never got to hold hands, not properly, but maybe the measure of their trust is beyond that. Maybe, an embrace could suffice—this would go back to Izuku’s vigilante arc. Where, instead of holding hands, Katsuki caught him when he needed to. And he’s going to do it, again and again.

Maybe holding a robot or silicone arm won’t feel the same, but it’s the feelings surrounding it that matters, not the act itself. The hand hold is still there, the hands still haunt the narrative like a mouse within the walls. It bites at cords like their own emotional walls.

Katsuki missed his chance, over and over again, and he’s going to have to come to terms with that. But that’s not to say that the story won’t let this aspect haunt the narrative like it always has. It’s still THERE, and I believe in Horikoshi to continue to write a story about hands while the main character doesn’t even have them.

Izuku’s hands are tied to his strength, physically and emotionally. He views them has the glue that ties his heroics to himself. His hands have always reached out to others, his hands have always punched those who were wrong, and even when he had to switch fighting styles he still saw them as the reason he was able to fight at all. They represent OFA, his love, his anger, his weakness, his strength. They represent his sense of self, and yet he’s more outraged than hurt that he lost them for Tenko to be free—only for AFO to take away that freedom all over again.

THATS why the loss had to happen. THIS. He lost something so incredibly valuable to himself, but he lost them of his own accord. He could have let go of Tenko at any moment, yet he didn’t because he wanted Tenko to know comfort and freedom. He wanted him to be free.

You could say that Tenko was telling Izuku to let go because he was breaking down his emotional resolve, and I believe you could also say that he was telling Izuku to let go so he doesn’t hurt someone who tried to help him all over again. You could say it’s both. It’s selfish and selfless, like everything in this story is. But Izuku refused to, and that was a choice Tenko could never take away from him.

So, that’s how I’ll turn this tragedy to hope, because this was done out of Izuku’s love, why take away that meaning?

Why put them back?

Why take away those scars?

Scars tell stories, they tell you how we became the greatest heroes.

[drdemonprince]

had my one month post op appointment today! someone sent Dr. Iteld my medium posts about the surgery. he said he was awed by me and that im a beautiful writer 😭

Got instructions today on which types of scar treatments to use and how to properly do scar massage. My doc recommends a silicone gel, whereas I already have a silicone cream on hand, but the office didnt try to get me to buy anything from them, which was a relief.

and i am fully cleared to workout bitchesss

[favvosee]

There are a few treatments that can minimize the appearance of scarring from your chest tattoo. Among them are silicone gels and sheets, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion. Any of these treatments should be discussed with your tattoo artist or dermatologist.

Silicone Scar Treatment

[loesyff]

I'm a bit confused about these scar treatment instructions. Like they say you should like moisturize them, sure okay. But then you should also use the tapes to cover them if you want to try reduce the scar, and like..what kinda tapes are they using if they stick at all to any treated skin, wtf. I have trouble keeping the silicone tapes on just washed skin.

[ethmaron]

i wonder if bruce has developed any special scar creams through wayne medical specifically for his/his families comfort. theres a lot of over the counter stuff you can use to combat scar pain/itchiness (lotions/oils, silicon sheeting bandages, special compression bandages, etc) but i like to think that he's helped develop something special that also works to help fade them out.

slightly unrelated but i do think besides that he has a lot of home treatments/methods for easing scar aches and pains that he teaches to the kids and stuff to help them with their own pain and discomfort

(he of course, i think, also helps with muscle pains/joint pains that they have too--supplying braces and PT as they need it. idk im thinking abt them and their aches and pains)

[shrews-things]

Just paid 20k for scar treatment silicone gel. war and hell on planet earth

[answersfromzestual]

So you just had surgery...

It is best not to apply anything (creams, gels, etc.) to your scars until at least 3-4 weeks or when your surgeon says it's okay. It's always a good question to ask the doctor. [Source 1]

Massaging the scar using gentle pressure allows the wound to heal in a way that the restored skin is soft and has the normal range of movement and elasticity. [Source 1]

As the scar is healing it is important to protect it from sunlight to prevent it becoming dark and prominent. It is a good idea to keep it covered for a year or more. Alternatively use a suntan lotion or cream or sun block of SPF 35 or greater if your back is going to be exposed to the sun. [Source 1]

An itchy, hot painful scar can be a sign of infection which will need medical attention, from a doctor or a prescribing nurse. If the scar is just itchy, taking antihistamine tablets can help to stop the itching. This in turn stops the itch scratch cycle, so helping to prevent infection. [Source 1]

The best treatment for an itchy or dry scar is to wash the skin with a moisturising shower gel or a bath additive. This will prevent the skin from becoming dry. Then, apply and massage a fragrance free moisturiser cream or ointment into clean dry skin. You will need to do this on a daily basis for several months and maybe even longer. Silicone based gels and sheets can be particularly effective for stubborn deep scars. [Source 1]

Your surgeon(s) may advise you to use one or more of the following over-the-counter (a.k.a OTC) treatments after 2 to 3 weeks: silicone strips (also known as kinesiology tape), tapesilicone gel, recommended (and approved by your surgeon) certain brands or types of products your surgeon may advise against using even though it may be on a list online. [Source 2]

It takes about 12 months on average for a wound/scar to completely heal [Source 2]

This is for all surgeries, but more specifically, top surgery. Not many people like having big scars after any surgery. With that being said, I feel like this is appropriate for any procedure that may create scarring from top to bottom.

The Pros and Cons of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a type of breast enlargement treatment. In this method, fat tissues taken from the candidate's other body parts are used to give full coverage to the breasts. Many women choose this method, whereas some use breast implants. Breast augmentation with fat transfer offers a wide range of benefits and few drawbacks. To learn about the pros and cons of the treatment, Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, a renowned surgeon for breast augmentation surgery in Gurgaon, guided us. Based on the insights, this blog delves into the pros and cons of breast augmentation/enlargement with fat transfer. 

Pros of Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

Natural Results

The fat transfer makes boosted breasts feel more natural than silicone implants, which are stiffer and can be displaced. 

Brief Recovery

Breast augmentation with fat transfer requires less recovery. Swelling and bruising will fade after surgery. After 2 weeks, you can resume your daily routine, including light exercise, and rigorous exercise can be resumed after 4-6 weeks. 

Minimal Scarring

Since liposuction and fat injections are used in this method, the incisions are tiny. Therefore, leftover scars are small and hideable. This will give patients a natural look without dark scars or scar therapy.

Body Contour

Fat grafting lets the surgeon modify many body sections in one treatment by shifting fat. Liposuction removes fat from the stomach, thighs, arms, and face. By increasing the volume of the breasts, you may also flatten the tummy and define your curves, achieving body balance. This is important for patients who want to fix physical issues while saving money.

Permanent Results

This treatment yields long-lasting results since the fat integrates into the body and functions like other fat cells. This breast augmentation approach avoids rupturing, a common complication 10-15 years after breast implants, by not inserting a foreign substance.

Cons of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Fat Survival

About 30-50% of additional fat cells will die and be absorbed after surgery. This reduces immediate outcomes until the cells settle. The surgeon will try to account for this when injecting fat, but it depends on how much they can retrieve. Patients may contemplate a second fat injection if they have enough collected fat.

A little augmentation

Fat transfer uses only patient-extracted fat. Therefore, augmentation is limited by the patient's excess fat. Most women only increase one cup size for their initial surgery, which may be better for those seeking a larger alteration. You can repeat the technique to go up another cup size.

Lacks Sagging Correction

Several patients have sagging boobs due to aging. Fat transfer adds volume and reshapes the breasts, not tightening or eliminating extra skin. Combining a fat transfer with a breast lift may give you greater lift and a perkier appearance.

Conclusion

Compared to other breast enhancement methods, fat transfer breast augmentation has many advantages. Your surgeon can provide natural results with rapid treatment, recuperation time, and guaranteed longevity with fat grafting. This surgery is appropriate for those seeking mild breast enlargement and body balance. To consider breast augmentation with fat transfer, you can contact Dr. Shilpi Bhadani.
