Also when the revision is done do you swell up like you do with the tummy tuck procedure?
Answer: Healing time for a tummy tuck scar revision A tummy tuck scar revision can vary from being very simple to very complicated. Perhaps the most involved revision would be excision of the entire lower abdominal scar. This may require a drain. Downtime would be 3 to 5 days, though the drain may stay in a bit longer than this.

Answer: Scar revision down time could be 4-6 weeks, recommend following revision with laser treatments and melarase creams 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.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. In my opinion the best for you will be to lower the old scar about 3 cm but this will not mean it will be hidden under the bathing suit. I wish you all the best.
