Is it OK to get a henna tattoo over TT scar at 4 months post op?

Question

I am 4 months post op. Is it ok to get a henna tattoo right now to cover up my TT scar? I don’t want to get a real tattoo right now

Best to clarify with your ps since every surgeon has a slightly different post op protocol. Just remember that it takes s good year for scars to mature.

Thank you for your question. Usually I recommend to wait 6 months for the scar to mature to do anything on it. Please clarify with your PS
