Procedure guide
Lifts and reductions often leave a combination of scars — around the areola, down the front of the breast and sometimes along the crease. Silagen makes shapes for each pattern.
Your surgeon will tell you which pattern you have. Silagen’s shapes are designed to match these patterns.
Where: A circle around the areola edge
Formats to ask about: Areola circle shapes — a pair of rings with a nipple opening.
Where: Around the areola plus a vertical line down to the crease
Formats to ask about: Lollipop shapes, 2⅞″ × 6½″, sold in pairs.
Where: Areola, vertical line and a horizontal line in the crease
Formats to ask about: Anchor shapes, or the breast kit (2 circles + 2 anchors). The vertical tab can be trimmed for crease-only scars.

Pre-cut circles, lollipops and anchors that cover each part of the pattern in one piece.
Open guide
Longer strips (such as 2″ × 8″) for crease scars, trimmed to length.
Open guide
Where scars meet and skin creases, gel can fill gaps or replace sheets for part of the day.
Open guideWhere the vertical and crease scars meet is often the slowest area to close. Scar care begins only when every part of the incision is closed — ask your surgeon to check this spot.
Shapes are thin and may sit under a soft bra once your surgeon allows it. If the bra edge lifts the shape, ask about trimming or medical tape.
Silagen describes using sheeting for part of the day and gel for the rest — never both at once, and never gel under a sheet.

No. Lift and reduction create longer, combined incisions; these examples are kept separate from augmentation.
Like other Silagen sheeting, about 3–4 weeks with gentle washing, then replace.
