How long should you wait after full tummy tuck for scar revision? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photo. I generally ask patients to wait for a minimum of 6 month before doing any revision. Scars continue to change sometimes for up to 2 years. Sometimes, if you give it enough time, revision can be avoided. You also want to completely heal from your first surgery so that there is no more swelling and inflammation. Small revisions can sometimes be done in the office, which would avoid unnecessary general anesthesia. Good luck.Sincerely,Olga Bachilo, MD

Based on your pictures, you appear to have a very nice result.  Scars generally start off red in color and gradually fade over time.  It usually takes about a year to a year and a half for a scar to fully fade and mature.  There are various scar treatments that might hasten the maturation of your scar, however, it appears that it should heal as a very thin line (which is ideal).  If I were going to plan on any revisions with you, I would plan to do them at a minimum of six months and preferably one year.
