What are the best scar treatments for tummy tuck?
Answer: Scar treatment after surgery Thank you for your question. In general, silicone therapy has the best evidence for improvement in scar appearance. There are several manufacturers who make silicone strips that can be placed over the incision. In my practice, I recommend Biocorneum scar therapy. This is a silicone gel with UV protection. It is used twice a day for about 3 months. Scar massage can be helpful as well. Best to check with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Depending on the scar, Resurfx can be done to help minimize appearance 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 Scar Treatments You will find different surgeons have their own way for treating scars, for my patients I find once the incision has healed silicone sheeting is very good for scar management. Good luck.

Answer: Scar treatments Thank you for your question. There are a wide array of scar treatments, and there are a lot of different schools of thought. Some people feel as though pressure on the scar helps it to heal flat and thin; others feel as though massaging the scar can help to keep it flat and thin. In my opinion, silicone sheets are great, as is anything topical like Biocornium. The truth of the matter is that most scars will fade with time - and time is the best thing for them. The other truth is to be consistent with whatever you decide - I would speak with your Plastic Surgeon about his or her scar treatment modality, as everyone seems to have a favorite. Best of luck!
