Marks after lipo? (Photo)

Question

I had a bbl with lipo a little bit more than 2 months ago. I've been wearing my faja, putting on arnica cream etc. I have some marks on my belly that looks like veins. Sometimes they appear darker, sometimes you barely see them. I tried also rose oil like my doctor said but it did not change anything. I'd like to know what can I do to make it go away and also if it's normal. I am an exotic dancer so I can't really go to work like that...

hello misskellykellyy   Patient’s scars will mature following surgery; they may be red or raised for the first few months, but after 6–12 months they will soften, lighten, and become less noticeable. Laser treatments available at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery can quicken the healing of scars and reduce them significantly. #cream #marks

Incisions go through a maturation phase and will take time for the redness to settle down. This can take a year or longer.

Hello, thanks for your question and provided information as well... You need to use a cotton shirt under your garment to preven those marks and also allergic reactions. if you can, also add an abdominal board too.
