I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair exactly 8 months ago. Overall l'm happy with the results, but curious if the "lumpiness" along my scar is swelling and will eventually go away, or if that is my final result? Is 8 months post still too soon to tell?! Thank you!

Answer: Recommend doing a revision 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 Thank you for your question and photos! I always recommend that you wait 1 full year for a scar to mature. If afterwards it still bothers you, than you can have a revision done. Best of luck!

Answer: Lumpy area along incision At 8 months post op it is unlikely you will see much change in the area that concerns you. If it is residual fat your surgeon may be able to perform a little liposuction for improvement, but an exam would be needed to know for sure. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns and discuss possible treatments.

Answer: Will this lumpy scar eventually go away, or is this my final result? 8 months after tummy tuck (Photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately that will not resolve on its own as it is likely some skin and adipose tissue creating that appearance. A surgical correction will be required, either additional liposuction or liposuction with a small amount of skin removal.
