I had a tummy tuck in March, so I'm just at 7 months. My scar is raised and dark still. What are my options for flattening the scar after so much time has passed?
Answer: Resurfx laser can help even out skin texture 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: Help Flatten Tummy Tuck Scar It may take several months for a tummy tuck patient’s scars to soften, for sensation to return, and for relaxing of the tight sensation in the abdomen. In the case of extensive surgery, abdominoplasty recovery can be uncomfortable and may take longer. Scars may stay red, become thick or widen. It can take 12-18 months for the scars to settle.

Answer: Scarring after a tummy tuck. Your scar is still quite young and immature at seven months old. At this point, you could probably accelerate the healing process using silicone sheeting or liquid. The liquid application is often much more easy and stays in place without much attention. A normal treatment would last about 12 weeks. If you liked the results, you could continue this another 12 weeks.

Answer: What can I do to flatten my tummy tuck scar? Without photographs it is impossible to assess you. Fact: scars can take as long as two years to mature. So a 7 month old scar is still fresh and needs to undergo maturation. If you are worried, in all seriousness go and see your surgeon to get an assessment.
