The phone call was everything! No other human at any other level of society can excuse themselves to take an unrelated phone call during their TH-cam video. Would we not feel Bieber obnoxious doing this? A policeman, a firefighter, a politician, a lawyer? Only a doctor. Love this video. Laughed out hardly when it rang and then he took it. Doctors are demi-gods of life and death among us.
He is giving you valuable FREE information and you are going to complain that he took a phone call? He is a Dr and is taking time out of his day to make this video. If there is an emergency that needs his attention and he doesn't answer the phone because he is making your free video, he could be sued and someone could die. You clearly have no clue what actually goes on in a Drs office or you would not make such ignorant, uneducated comments. Someday you might need a Dr to safe your life and when you do, I hope they don't answer the phone because they are busy making your free videos that you think should come above their own patients. truly unbelievable
Thank you Dr. Mike! I'm in Branson, MO so practically a neighbor :-) I was told all this but didn't remember it all so it's good to hear it all again when I'm not freaked out after Mohs surgery.
I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my nose lip area...I had 3 treatments of laser therapy and massage the scar for 15 minutes twice a day and it’s only been 3 months and see a big difference..and I always make sure to wear a spf of 60 so that my scar doesn’t tan...
This was a great video. I recently slipped in the shower and sustained a laceration by my eye/temple. I went to ER because I was concerned about concussion. The ER Dr opted to use dermabond and I received a tetanus shot. Within 3 days I went back to ER because I suspected it was infected. At that point, a Dr reopened and cleaned it up, put me on antibiotics, and wanted me to leave it open. I left it alone overnight but the next day I was advised to close it myself with steri strips so I did. Yesterday makes it one week out since I fell. I know the infection set me back on healing but the wound came together relatively well (the edges don’t seem to be sealed yet). Although I am concerned about it being raised or depressed so I’m going to look into the silicone products you suggested. Thank you for the information.
Also, this video was amazing. My cosmetic surgeon told me none of this info, even though I probed him and the staff for info on scaring and would healing. I was told to keep the wound and sutures as dry as possible, to absolutely not use aquaphor, and that the wound could just heal on its own without any help.
Personally I think he gave You wrong info. Wounds generally need moisture to heal. And also this Scar Away that I use really helps to keep scarring at a minimum. But dont take my word for it.I would read some articles About it and then confront him. Maybe you Have some special kind of Stitches or something that Doesn't require this care.
I love how you mention “NON” antibiotic ointment in this video. Many of us are actually allergic to antibiotic ointments, and i have actually become victim to very bad scarring due to excessive inflammation on a wound because i was told to use antibiotic ointment being a patient with ethnic skin who already is at risk for bad scarring. Excessive inflammation makes scarring worse. People with ethnic skin type being more prone to scarring, have to be very careful in following proper post operative, and a very important part of this is keeping inflammation down. I recently learned taking IBUPROFEN is actually good as a pain reliever because it brings down inflammation, so keeping that inflammation down is key. Also i think antihistamines can do this too. Some of us also are allergic to some suture materials so that can cause problems too. Compression is also good for scars. And too much tension on a wound can also cause bad scarring.
This is an excellent and very informative video! Thank you for doing this. This is the kind of expertise that doctors usually don't share. This info is priceless. This should have millions of views! Thank you!
Thank you!!!! You helped me to decid to go to the ER on Sunday 1:30am instead of waiting for the doctor (which would have been a day or 2) and got stitches for a facial wound. Thank you for making this video!!!!!! Mother of 3 little ones :)
Thank you doctor! I wish that the doctor that stitched me at the hospital would have given me your advice, fortunately it’s only been 3 days so I’m still in good shape! I was being treated with neomycin 😑
I met with road accident 1 month back..got deep laceration cut on face sutured,Am massaging with Contratubex gel 3 times a day....and covering Silicon gel sheet for 24 hrs..After started using Contratubex gel, scar skin is turning black colour
I just had liproscopic surgery on the bottom of my esophagus, the doctor told me of have five SMALL holes in my stomach, turns out? Not so tiny! I know this isn't my face but I'm kind of short and my torso area isn't exactly long 🤣 I have now purchased the silicone sheets, and am going to get the cream as well. Worst case scenario I have to use some type of Korean skin whitening (JK), best case??? Your advice makes my life better. Thank you so much for making this video. It's truly appreciated.
Thank you for the video! I met with an accident and a plastic surgeon made some sutures on my forehead and right beside my eye, and I have the scabs from other abrasions all over my face have fallen off, leaving pink skin behind. My doctor has prescribed Silicone sheets for 12 hours and Contractubex - an extr. Cepae, Heparin Sodium & Allantoin gel to be applied during the day. My question is, when is the right time to start this? My wounds have healed (except one - which is a small bit of yellowish scab) and are pink now. Also, when can I start using makeup to cover them up?
Cut between my eyebrows with my neck less doing push ups on the floor, should heal up quick however I actually usually play with spots on my face even during spots open with needles and tweezers as a teen and don’t have any scars always wash keep moist but will keep you updated one thing I didn’t know was not to use antibiotic cream on a cut and scar when already clean I usually take it out my scar routine after a few days and stick with sun screen sudacream, Vaseline and daily 2-3 times a day mosierise thanks doc ❤ wish you a happy life
Dr. Nayak was looking to purchase the silicone gel you added to the comments how does it do for black skin that is recovering from surgery with internal sutures
Oh, it’s too late I suppose...My little daughter fell and got a wound near her eye and got glued and the wound healed open :( now the scar is shrinking.
Hi how is the scarring on your daughter now? My son he's 4 years old he got bitten by a dog on his face yesterday so scared of scarring on his face,any advice?
Hi, I followed your advice and cleaned my surgical scar with hydrogen peroxide. My scar has worsened and it looks really hyperpigmented. I have not been outside since surgery. What can I do? I'm scared my skin is ruined.
Thank you for your video. Recently got a laceration to my nose and like most, am very afraid of how it will scar. A question about the Advanced Medical Silicone Scar Gel, can this be used with Scarguard? Your response is much appreciated!
This was a really nice and informative video. Liked and subscribed. I earned 5 stitches in my upper lip in a surfing injury 2 weeks ago. It left a railroad scar that I'm now caring for
Reclusively Social thank you! Good luck with the healing! Definitely consider the Biocorneum scar product linked in the description. Use code NAYAK10 to save 10% and get free shipping for orders >$100
Is there a solution of those railroads, I got 7 stitches just above eyebrows but doctor only made me wait till 10 -11 days. A nurse too, She said it's a sensitive area, you should wait. Then i asked another doctor at 10th day, I was informed 7 days at face was alright. At that moment I knew something bad has happened and after removing stitches I saw the railroads and now crying at my desk. Please HELP :/ Thank you
Thank you so much for the helpful hints on caring for your scar. I had a face lift 2 weeks ago, 2nd one in 10 months, still have a saggy chin, the one thing I wanted changed the most. Anyway, the same doctor did both and he has never come to talk to me about after care or anything really. The nurse told me to massage the scar, how do you feel about that? Also, I love the Vaniply you recommended and I also bought silicone gel. I wish I lived closer to you, I live here in Maine or I would make an appointment to see you. I have so many questions and concerns and I would just like to talk to someone. Thank you again for this helpful video, have a great day.......Mary (also, I'm 59 and my 2nd face lift I was awake.)
Thank you for this video. It is very informative! I have a question: Is it ok to cover the stitches with a bandage after applying vaniply or aquaphor? Thank you!
Hi there. Is icing / elevation appropriate well after the sutures have been removed, two months after the surgery? At this stage would icing potentially improve the appearance of the scar? Thank you.
Hi doctor, let say if i have very big abrasion on my face today, how soon should i apply vaseline on the wound.. Is it immediately or should i wait a few days?
I just had a scar revision surgery to fix a depressed scar from a apprentices surgery done years ago, while asked whether I should apply a silicon sheet, my doctor said that I should apply only micropore surgical tape on the new scar for my case instead of a silicon sheet, may I know what’s your opinion on it ?
Doctor, what about rubbing creams? I used to have a facial scar next to my nose, and I used some probably prescription (in Hungary) green partially or entirely made out of an onion extract. That thing started a long lasting allergic reaction as part of or on top of its function to make the skin peel(?) off. It peeled(?) (and eventually flaked) a lot. Today, it is not visible at all. It was over half an inch in length, and it was a very fine cut by glass. Is that no longer considered a best practice or it never was in the U.S. and/or in other Western countries?
You'd think a suture needle would leave scarring! Might be worth mentioning the power of rosehip seed oil in the prevention of ugly, raised scar tissue forming. Keloids especially respond well to its application, and can be prevented from forming with continuous use. Personally, I would stay away from micro needling. It actually ages skin long term, unbelievably.
Thank you dr I recently had revision done on a nine year scar ( facial ) They recommended antibiotic cream , I’m not sure why then I went back for follow up the next week then they said to leave it dry. Very confused there a plastic surgery who’s been around for many years. Could have been in a hurry to get out, that’s horrible right.!? Thank you for the very good info what to put on sutures during the time period
When is the best time to begin cross-fiber friction scar massage for the face or body? (Like in eyelid surgery) _Would it be 7-10 days out, after sutures have been removed or 2-3 wks to allow the body to naturally phase through wound healing?
Thanks for the info, I used Bio oil for my forehead scar and it has caused breakouts near the scar. I have stopped using it. Do you think bio oil has already made the scar worse since it darkened a bit, I used it just for 4 days
I had liposuction surgery 3 weeks ago and one scar seems to be slightly indented than the others. Is it worth getting micro needling done on that wound to help fill it in? Great video by the way! 👍🏻
How long do I use the bacterian for? If it's a fresh cut I am not sure which one to do. My doctor said to use that ointment for the first couple weeks or should I switch to the vaseline?
Hi, I'm 21 and I recently had a dog bite to my upper lip 2 weeks ago that went through the skin to open up into a 1p sized gap, but it did not go throuhh the muscle etc. I went to nhs a&e and had it glued together with steri strips. The strips started lifting on day 2 due to my oily skin so I put some elastaplast on, the glue remained strong. The wound began to weep after 3 days, but only at night so it dried under the strips before I could clean it up. After 7 days I removed the strips and the glue fell off overnight with some moisture. The cut did not close fully and is a bit depressed. I went to see my gp twice, once after 3 days and once after 1 week and they just referred me to a specialist surgeon in the next county who can only see me in 7 weeks. They did not recommend any topical treatments and told me not to put anything on the wound till it has 'healed', but I don't know what that is meant to look like. I feel like I'm just feeling round in the dark right now and it has really hit my confidence. I just wish a doctor would help me rather than just pawning me off. I feeli like its there way of telling me I'm screwed.
Hi Abigail, Dr. Nayak recommends you reach out to Julian Da Silva, a cosmetic surgeon on Harley St in London. He is a great doctor, and an in-person exam with him will help you get set off in the right direction!
Hello ~ In the video you mention BioCorneum.. but the link in section 8 above takes you to ADVANCED MEDICAL SILICONE SCAR GEL , by Avani Derm Spa. Which is better to use for scarring? Do they have the same ingredients or is one superior to the other? Thank you for clarifying!
We created our own Advanced Medical Silicone Scar Gel by Avani Derm Spa to replace BioCorneum. Dr. Nayak created his own formula that is just as good but a lower price than BioCorneum!
I have a scar with glass splinter in my face between my eye brows ,I can feel the bigger glass ,but thier is smaller ones that itches sometimes at knight ,most a says it's too close to my eyes so it's best to leave it alone,but I'm very self conscious about the scar people says they don't notice it ,but as I look in the mirrow or do a video call it the first thing I see ,any thing I can do to get rid of the scar
Hey , I found your video effective . I’ve a small scar on my forehead and I have done 2 lazers and after second lazer it seems to appear more fluffy . However i m getting rejected in my cabin crew interview due to this visibility of scar. Kindly suggest me something to conceal that scar. Thank you.
How can you clean the incision site with H2O2 and keep it covered w/ a cream if it's covered with Steri-Strips? I had desolving sutures for a dorsal wrist incision and I formed keloids around the specific areas where there were stitches still poking out. Was never offered silicone sheeting..so angry at how my scar has turned out and the doctor didn't address it at all.
For scar treatment following MOHSprocedure for basal cell carcinoma on nose is silicone spf gel preferable to the cream.. (The video was immensely helpful)
Hi i had five stitches in a 1.5 inch long cut on the top side of my index finger. Doctor also used glue. Should i wear a finger splint or is it not necessary?
Hi there Dr. I just wanted to ask... i had this scar in my face... when it was sutured they used silk 2/0 and i notice that there were marks sameway with depression.... any suggestion?
I had laser lesion removal on my forehead. Doctor said to let it scab over and the scab will fall. The scab fell off but I see a depressed area now.... what do I do?
Hi, I recently lacerated my eyebrow falling on ice. I received 7 stitches. The discharge papers I received encourage letting the wound dry and leaving it open at night to encourage scabbing over. Your tip to use vasiply seems to contradict this. From my research though moist wounds do heal better. Is there a reason my er doctor would encourage scabbing? I would like to use vasiply but I'm confused by this conflicting advice
We would recommend following up with your doctor if you have questions or concerns. Without you being our patient and us seeing the wound we can not give advice on what is best for your wound or tell you why one way was recommended over the other by your doctor!
@@NayakPlasticSurgery I did follow up thank you. I ended up using aquaphor to keep it moist, the sutures were removed today and I am so impressed with the results! Next I'll move to the silicon, thanks so much for taking time to share your knowledge! I'll recommend this video to anyone in need!

Hi Doctor Mike,
Is DERMATIX ULTRA silicone? Can I start using it after 2 week of removing the sutures in a forehead wound?
Thanks very much for amazing video which is helped me in making the right informed decisions thank you so much for your content
Thank you doctor. May god bless you! Very beneficial video
Thanks for the information
Would you recommend red light therapy for scars on the face?
Thank you for this video. It is very informative! I have a question: Is it ok to cover the stitches with a bandage after applying vaniply or aquaphor? Thank you!
Hi there. Is icing / elevation appropriate well after the sutures have been removed, two months after the surgery? At this stage would icing potentially improve the appearance of the scar? Thank you.

Thankyou so much lovely man xx
Sir I have done scar revison scar Is now less noticeable.. but which cream should I use to remove the revised scar
Can you apply aquaphor or Vaseline soon after a sutured laceration? If not how soon can you apply Vaseline after a fresh suture?
Is this great for plastic surgery scarring?
Hey doc. Did you hear from verteporfin for real skin regeneration instead of scarring
Doctor, what about rubbing creams? I used to have a facial scar next to my nose, and I used some probably prescription (in Hungary) green partially or entirely made out of an onion extract. That thing started a long lasting allergic reaction as part of or on top of its function to make the skin peel(?) off. It peeled(?) (and eventually flaked) a lot. Today, it is not visible at all. It was over half an inch in length, and it was a very fine cut by glass. Is that no longer considered a best practice or it never was in the U.S. and/or in other Western countries?

Is it normal to have dents after removing stitches
Thank you! I had an incomplete Carpe Tunnel Release which is 2 inches long between my wrist and hand. Would you still suggest Biocorneum?
And that's way doctors are late for appointments..They're making videos 😆 Thank you for the excellent information.
How often should sutured, boulder patches be changed...every 7-10 days?
balarabb7 that is a really specific circumstance and there isn’t a broad rule on it!
Thanks for the info, I used Bio oil for my forehead scar and it has caused breakouts near the scar. I have stopped using it.
Do you think bio oil has already made the scar worse since it darkened a bit, I used it just for 4 days
silvie khurana I’m sorry for the late response. I doubt it did any significant harm
I had liposuction surgery 3 weeks ago and one scar seems to be slightly indented than the others. Is it worth getting micro needling done on that wound to help fill it in? Great video by the way! 👍🏻
We would not perform microneedling on a scar that new. We recommend going to see the doctor that performed the liposuction for their opinion.
How long do I use the bacterian for? If it's a fresh cut I am not sure which one to do. My doctor said to use that ointment for the first couple weeks or should I switch to the vaseline?
What differences for large holes in the face caused by TCA 100%?
Keep moist for 2 weeks? Regular massage and needling at 6-week mark? Anything else?
Can I use mupirocin ointment on my knee stitch? Or plain vaseline is ok?

I have a scar with glass splinter in my face between my eye brows ,I can feel the bigger glass ,but thier is smaller ones that itches sometimes at knight ,most a says it's too close to my eyes so it's best to leave it alone,but I'm very self conscious about the scar people says they don't notice it ,but as I look in the mirrow or do a video call it the first thing I see ,any thing I can do to get rid of the scar
Really helpful. Thanks sir
I have 3% hydrogen peroxide, should I dilute it... If so, how much?
balarabb7 We use full strength, but you could probably dilute it by half with clean water if you like
I want this cream unfortunately I can see the ingredients 😒
Thanks for the video. I have been prescribed Retino-A and Elocon cream for skin abrasion (one-month-old). Is that okay to use for cut scars?
Hey , I found your video effective . I’ve a small scar on my forehead and I have done 2 lazers and after second lazer it seems to appear more fluffy . However i m getting rejected in my cabin crew interview due to this visibility of scar. Kindly suggest me something to conceal that scar.
Thank you.

Wat is treatment of internal scar tissue hardening.
Will peroxide dissolve the stitches?
Let Truth Prevail no
How can you clean the incision site with H2O2 and keep it covered w/ a cream if it's covered with Steri-Strips? I had desolving sutures for a dorsal wrist incision and I formed keloids around the specific areas where there were stitches still poking out. Was never offered silicone sheeting..so angry at how my scar has turned out and the doctor didn't address it at all.
Can I use vitamin c serum and dermaroller for finger surgery scar ?
I wish have mer you before..I have a 6 years old girl with a scar on her upper lip (4years old scar) Any hope..she is been bullied.
Same with my daughter...praying for her
I know too many people who've had very bad reaction to sh0ts, so definitely not doing that.
For scar treatment following MOHSprocedure for basal cell carcinoma on nose is silicone spf gel preferable to the cream.. (The video was immensely helpful)
How can I reduce redness on the scar and what are your thoughts on tca! Ty
Cool, I wonder if my surgeon when I was a kid, did this technique (it has scarred thickly, sadly).

I can’t find the links
Hi i had five stitches in a 1.5 inch long cut on the top side of my index finger. Doctor also used glue. Should i wear a finger splint or is it not necessary?
I would ask the doctor you saw, as we do not know the extent of the injury!
Hi there Dr. I just wanted to ask... i had this scar in my face... when it was sutured they used silk 2/0 and i notice that there were marks sameway with depression.... any suggestion?
I had laser lesion removal on my forehead. Doctor said to let it scab over and the scab will fall. The scab fell off but I see a depressed area now.... what do I do?
Take collagen supplements for a few weeks and check for improvement maybe?
What about scar massage on the face? Also what about Maderma cream?
my sister got a scar right above her eyebrow and used maderma. it helped it a lot and it’s barely noticeable now!!😁
Maderma gave me an allergic reaction
Stitches only 2 to3 days on face.. No marks
Thank you 🙏
Aloe ?? From the plant

Bacitrin
Sir I hvv a cut mark on my face how to cure it
Thank you for the advice!
Is general anesthesia or local used in scar removal
Thanks
Thank you so much.Now I got a real good idea of what to do during this hard time for my skin.
Hi, I recently lacerated my eyebrow falling on ice. I received 7 stitches. The discharge papers I received encourage letting the wound dry and leaving it open at night to encourage scabbing over. Your tip to use vasiply seems to contradict this. From my research though moist wounds do heal better. Is there a reason my er doctor would encourage scabbing? I would like to use vasiply but I'm confused by this conflicting advice
We would recommend following up with your doctor if you have questions or concerns. Without you being our patient and us seeing the wound we can not give advice on what is best for your wound or tell you why one way was recommended over the other by your doctor!
@@NayakPlasticSurgery I did follow up thank you. I ended up using aquaphor to keep it moist, the sutures were removed today and I am so impressed with the results! Next I'll move to the silicon, thanks so much for taking time to share your knowledge! I'll recommend this video to anyone in need!
So glad! @@tlrlittle
Impressive ! You remind me of a hotel owner in a movie about witches with purple eyes !
He's the spitting image of Mr. Bean, lol
Heh heh yes I can see him owning a hotel, dodging witches. Or maybe conspiring with them.
What about staples?
