I can see my scar is healing well on the outside and wonder if it heals as fast inside where they lifted my skin up? I'm six week post op and it still hurts inside when I cough or laugh.
Answer: Healing outside and inside at same rate IT takes 6 to 8 weeks before the wounds reach significant strength. What is apparent on the outside is also what is happening on the inside.

Answer: How long to heal on inside from Tummy Tuck? Thanks for your question.Generally by 3 months you are 70-80% healed (both inside and out). The remaining 20% will take up to 18 months for the scar tissue to mature. This may be further delayed for up to 2 years or more if you have diabetes, hypertension, immunocompromised or a smoker etc.Hope this helps.

Answer: Healing After Tummy Tuck The inside heals about the same rate as the outside. Changes in the skin and tissues as they heal will occur for about 1 full year before they return to a more normal state. In terms of activity, however, that does not mean that you have to avoid exercise for a full year! Talk with your plastic surgeon about activity restrictions so you are sure you understand. The discomfort with coughing and laughing will lessen over time. That typically comes from the muscle plication underneath and is more a muscle spasm than a healing issue. The muscles will calm down over time. This can take several months before you notice improvement.
