Tummy tuck scar too low. What can I do about this? (Photo)

Question

What can I do about my scar? Yes I use a high quality silicon cream and tape. What kind of underwear or bathing suit I put on my tummy tuck scar is so low it’s on my leg!

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

In general, I have found over the years that silicone gels, creams and patches to be of little value in treating scars and little more than just busy work. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist to discuss the use of professionally performed  microneedling (no need for the added expense and added risks of adverse reactions from RF microneedling) to better blend the scar in both color and texture with the surrounding normal skin. Hope this helps and best of luck.
