Microneedle w/PRP for tummy tuck scar?

Yes, scars can be improved with microneedling/prp, but a combination approach would give the most improvement. Scars can be improved with a combination approach of microneedling/prp, lasers, subcision and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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.

Microneedling with PRP is very good at reducing surgical scars. Microneedling should be performed by a physician as it needs to be performed deeper for scar reduction. But there are many types of scars and Microneedling has its limitations. If the scar has produced excessive skin growth Microneedling is contraindicated. In your case you need to follow your plastic surgeon's advice.
