Answer: Tummy Tuck Scar Revision Based on your provided history and pictures, it seems a scar revision might be beneficial following your tummy tuck. Scar revision can take many forms, including Fraxel laser treatments, Morpheus8 treatments, or injections of Kenalog, cortisone, or 5FU. Surgical resection is also an option, though it may lead to similar scarring if your body's healing process is the underlying issue. Therefore, I suggest considering the more conservative routes mentioned above. I wish you the best of luck with your scar revision decision. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Vbeam laser treatments and kenalog to help flatten scar Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Tummy tuck scar revision Thank you for your question. Looking at the photo you have provided I would suggest starting with the use of some kenalog injections. This will allow your Surgeon to start to work on the thickness of your scar. After several treatments of that you may then do some IPL laser to help remove some of the color. If that doesn't work then I would recommend doing a scar revision. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Scar I would first try Kenalog injections to help soften and flatten the scar and then try micro-needling. If the scar is just revised, you may make the same kind again.
