Hi Hotbutta,

I hope your tummy tuck incision is healing nicely for you!

Many doctors on RealSelf recommend using silicone sheets during the post-surgical healing process to minimize scars.

New York plastic surgeon Dr. George Beraka recommends his patients use Scarfade gel after surgery to help minimize scarring, while Bay Area plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Williams suggests Scarguard and Mederma topical scar minimizing products.

Here's some other info. you might find helpful:
