Tummy tuck and breast scars not healing well after 3 months of surgery. (photos)

April 23, 2017
Asked By:Impressme in Encino, CA

I had a mini tummy tuck (used same scar I had for my c-section). And a Breast lift 3 months ago. One breast healed really well. The other one didn't. One scar still very red. My tummy tuck scar has some red spots that look like mini blisters. Is this normal? I used scar silicone gel for few weeks after surgery and I developed an allergy so I stopped. I'm Now using natural creams with jojoba, vitamin E, and other natural oils. What are your thoughts?
