This is used to help patients who undergo such surgical procedures as tummy tucks or breast surgery, which include the creation of scars as part of the surgery.

When patients decide to undergo cosmetic surgery, one major concern is the possibility of unsightly scarring. All surgery involves some scarring, but the risk of thickened or raised scars is often greater for those with a family or previous history of scarring and those with darker coloured skin. Risks also can be increased when surgery is performed on the torso such as in tummy tucks or on the breasts such as in breast lifts or breast enlargements.

At CosmeticCulture we strongly believe in the concept of a proactive approach to scar intervention and minimisation. The Scar Less Programme integrates the work of our plastic surgeon to provide a comprehensive approach to minimising scarring.

During surgery, our plastic surgeon uses meticulous techniques and very fine sutures to minimise tension on wounds – to limit the formation of unsightly scars right at the time of surgery. Next, we implement our unique post-operative program that includes the treatment of surgical incisions with various other modalities over time to minimise scars. Some of these techniques include specialised tapes, gel sheets, and injections of medicines to help speed healing and diminish the appearance of scar. Where indicated, we also include newly developed, revolutionary, TGA approved topical medications to minimise scarring. The system can be used as part of our surgical plan, or as part of a scar revision procedure for people who already have unsightly scars.
