Tummy Tuck Scars
Thank you for your question.
The tummy tuck scar may start harder and will soften with time. I generally say that a scar can take up to 1-1.5 years to mature / heal completely and that is when you will see the final results.
Be patient.

Tummy Tuck, will my scar soften?
Yes, it is normal for your scar to be hard after a Tummy, it will continue to harden for up to 8 weeks, then it will start to soften after that, scars reach their final maturity at 1.5 years, it will continue to change over that time. Good luck with you recovery.
