A surgeon explains two tools that reduce scarring from breast augmentation: the Keller funnel, which uses a tiny incision to insert implants with less tissue damage, and a sticky silicone strip that flattens scars after surgery. Studies show the silicone strip inhibits scar tissue growth.

Do you know that this and this can minimize your scar for breast surgery? This is a Keller funnel. It is used to put an implant, kind of like baking a cake. It's a big hole over here, tiny little hole over here. Can make your incision super, super tiny, pass the implant all the way through here. That minimizes the actual size of the incision you have to make and the trauma on the incision, which allows it to heal better. Now, this is one of my areola scar strips. This thing is a sticky silicone. When it's applied to a scar, will actually inhibit some of the scar growth. We know this from numerous studies, and it'll actually cause it to flatten and become less noticeable. So make sure if you're getting breast augmentation surgery, you ask for this and this.
