I know that the scar fades eventually after tummy tuck but is there anything that can be used in the meantime? Make up? Stick on tattoos? Henna? I am not talking about in bikinis - low scar or not, I mean naked. To cover it.
Answer: TT scar I advice my patients to start using Biocornium scar gel anywhere from 7 weeks post op on. It really helps the scar look better. Biocorneum is primarily sold at plastic surgeon's office. Hope this helps!

Answer: Doing laser treatments combined with melarse creams to help minimize appearance faster Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Covering up your scar Thank you for the question! Even though your tummy tuck scar will gradually fade over time, you may still get a tattoo if you so desire. It's perfectly safe. You just have to wait until the healing process is completed and your swelling is completely gone. That may take 6 to 12 months from the day of surgery. In other words, the answer to your question will vary from patient to patient. However, to err on the side of caution, I'd advise waiting at least one year.

Answer: Tummy tuck scar - cover? Disguising the appearance of a tummy tuck scar during the healing phase is fairly common. As you mentioned, temporary tattoos such as stick-on or henna are common. Additionally, products such as Dermablend, which is essentially a type of make-up is used to cover up scars and tattoos. Dermablend and other products is available at major retailers, such as Macy's.Obviously, silicone sheeting products can help both improve the appearance of an incision as well as cover it. The sheeting of course would be visible, but the incision would not.
