Yes! My dermatologist recommended scar away’s scar sheets! They’re a little pricey but I’ve found I can use one sheet for ~10 days easily. I use the ones for c-section scars and cut them in half (width-wise) and they’re the perfect size for my scars. I also have hypertrophic scarring and these really have made a difference. They’re not magically gone or anything but they are much softer and less raised!! https://a.co/d/06jkMPXZ
Yes use silicone scar sheets! I have these ones (slightly longer than my scar but a pretty good fit) https://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Advanced-C-Section-Hypertrophic-Surgeries/dp/B0BZ7N22LC I am just a few weeks out from my PAO, but I broke my collarbone a few years ago and have a similar type of surgical scar there, so I used them all summer the first summer. These scar away sheets have material on the top that prevents sun from getting through, and they stay sticky forever, even when/after you go in the water. I get 3ish weeks of use out of each of them wearing them 24/7, and it helps the scar heal and stay supple too. This one also advertises SPF and seems maybe a little cheaper, and you can cut it to size (but I don't have personal experience) https://www.dimoramedical.com/products/silicone-scar-sheets-60-120
