Confused about scar regimen? I am having the surgery in 3 weeks (eeeeeep!!!!) and I am in the process of placing a big amazon order for my recovery. My surgeon said just to use polysporin right after the surgery, and then bio-oil after 4 weeks.

I've read about medical tapes/steri strips. Are steri strips applied right after the surgery by doctors themselves? Or is this a product I should buy ahead of time? Just confused about what I need and when I will need it. Any particular brand recommendations would be great. I also want a bit more insight into what I should expect concerning the tapes and gels and oils after surgery.

Thanks in advance!
