Asked By:shanteellis in Dallas, Texas

I had an MMO in January 2023. My tummy tuck incision opened, and the incision scar was raised, along with the area where the drains were removed. I am concerned because the scarring is dark; it's sensitive and not improving. I am using silicon strips and bio-oil, but I have not seen any change. I have returned to the surgeon, who told me to use stips; no additional suggestions, post-op recommendations, or support has been offered. What can I use or do to flatten the scar
