In general it is usually after breast augmentation you should begin to use scar cream when incisions are fully healed as 2-3 weeks post-surgery. This is not absolute as individual healing processes and specific surgical techniques may vary. It is vital to seek the advice of your plastic surgeon for personalized recommendations. They are best able to offer advice based on your specific situation, and also help monitor the progress of your healing.

you can apply two types of scar cream after 1- 2 week of the procedure:
- Softening cream: it gives you an occlusive effect. It helps to create a seal over your scars by locking the moisture, thus providing protection against bacteria, and assisting in reduced appearance of scars after multiple use.
- Silicon cream: Also helps in reducing scars. It helps keep your tissue hydrated, soft, and flatter, because it has a breathable material which is responsible for protecting your scar tissue from itching, sweating, and irritation.
Note:
- But before starting with application of cream, ensure that your incisions are fully closed and healed.
- After applying silicon material, always massage your scar to reduce its appearance, as it produces collagen and other proteins.
