45yr Male, caucasian, 6 ft Had scar revision therapy on my tummy tuck scar (hypertrophic) nearly 2 years ago. The doctor took out a substantially larger piece of skin surrounding the original scar than thought. Since revision operation scar has grown back hypertrophic and I’ve developed a tightness in my abdomen and upper groin. Muscles often spasm and my rectus abdominis is very tight. Feels as if the muscle fascia is too tight. Also nerve sensitivity around new scar. Subconscious tightening?
Answer: Recommend doing laser treatments for scar and applying Plato's scar serum twice daily 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.

There are many scar treatment options that are available from systems such as Brijit or Embrace, to silicone strips, lasers, ointments, etc. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your concerns and learn of treatment options for you.

Answer: Indications for scar revision The first question someone should ask themselves before contemplating a scar revision is why would a new scar heal any better than the first time around?
