Scar care starts earlier than most people think.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr Shiv Chopra explains that he begins discussing scar therapy, hydration, and massage with his breast reconstruction patients before surgery — to prepare the skin and support healing afterwards.
He emphasises that scar therapy and wound care remain just as important during radiation treatment, helping the skin stay soft and supple for future reconstruction. This approach also supports nipple and areola contouring, giving patients better long-term results and confidence in their recovery.
