Will I get new stretch marks post TT? How can I avoid it?

It is rare for you to get new stretch marks. I do think keep the skin well moisturized is a great idea. Good luck with the surgery and I often use a product called Exparel which is a long lasting local anesthetic to make the recovery proscess easier.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  TT procedures do not result in the creation of new stretch marks, in fact they permanently remove those of the lower abdomen. There is one caveat to this in that any stretch marks that remain after the excess skin is removed may worsen due to the increased tension of your stomach skin.  Hope this helps.

Your surgery will remove all of the stretch marks below your umbilicus. I haven't found BioOil to be extremely helpful with stretch marks, but it's a good moisturizer so if you want to give it a go, there's no harm.My best,

Thank you for your question and photo. It is extremely uncommon to develop stretch marks following tummy tuck surgery. The procedure will remove all of your stretch marks below the umbilicus. I don't think using bio oil is necessary to prevent the formation of new ones. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery. 

The tummy tuck is designed to remove stretch marks lower on your abdomen.  Upper abdomen stretch marks will not be removed.  The tummy tuck procedure is unlikely to result in new stretch marks.

A "Stretch Mark" is NOT really a mark but a crack in the dermis of the skin which is seen with long, unrelenting pull similar to a rip in a piece of cloth. It appears as red/purple due to the blood vessels in it and as it matures it becomes silvery white due to scar tissue.It is VERY rare for stretch marks to be caused by a Tummy Tuck. But depending on your skin Preexisting stretch marks the Tummy Tuck may uncover stretch marks which are already there.Good LuckPeter ALDEA MDMemphis, TN
