Ten weeks ago I had a full Tummy Tuck, and 4 weeks after, I had a small correction of hematoma that didn't heal and the skin was peeled off. Around this correction, hyperpigmentation started, and now it looks really ugly. Is it normal to get hyperpigmentation in this area post-Tummy Tuck, and will it fade away in time? What can I do to make it disappear?
Recently we have begun using a variety of lasers for scars in our practice and I have been amazed at the results. Fractional Co2 and fractioanl erbium can improve the texture, while the pulsed dye Yag laser seems to dramatically improve the hyperpigmentation in many patients.
