I had a tummy tuck done 7 months ago. My scar is flat but is dark in color. Ive tried several different silicone strips and gels but has not given results. I want to lighten the scar. What are the best laser treatments out there to lighten the scar?
How bad is this scarring (nearly 6 months post op)? I had a bad recovery due to getting a pulmonary embolism 1 week after tummy tuck, in hospital for 3 weeks and now on blood thinners for the next few months. Im using E45 cream and silicone sheets but the scar is so ugly and Im just praying it smoothes out and gets lighter. Scar revision not an option as I am petrified of surgery after what happened to me. Any suggestions to help this scar would be greatly appreciated
Im trying to minimize my soon to be scarred abdomen. I love my light naturally tan olive skin but have a large scar from a surgery as Baby that is so white, noticeable and does not tan. I dont want my TT scar to look like this. Ive read varying reviews on embrace, silicone sheets/creams, mederma, and essential oils. What works best??
I will be getting a tummy tuck to remove a large amount of excess skin due to a 70 lbs weight loss. I have been reading all the comments on this site. I noticed everyone talking about the paper tape and silicone tape can someone explain how to use is and if it is necessary?
