I’ve had my straie for about 7 months now and they are thin and still purple but they used to be darker. I want to get a tummy tuck to get rid of most of them but will the thin skin cause necrosis or bad wound healing on the incision? My scars are not healed completely to where it’s white but they are also not normal average stretch marks so I’m wondering what I should do if a tummy tuck will be to risky
