[Skin Concerns] I’ll be having a double mastectomy in May, looking for help reducing scarring

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have a genetic mutation (BRCA1) which significantly increases my odds of getting breast cancer, so I will be getting a preventative double mastectomy with reconstruction in May. I’m looking for advice on keeping the scars flat and reducing redness. I tried searching the wiki and sub but most scar questions seem related to acne and mine will be different. I know not to apply any topicals until after healing, and I plan to discuss this with the plastic surgeon doing my reconstruction as well. But I wanted to ask this sub which has been hugely helpful to me as a long time lurker. Thanks in advance.
