December 25, 2011
Asked By:Naser in Canada

My belly bottom after tummy tuck was purple and I thought it will go away like bruises. as one of my PS advised me I filled it with polysporine and taped it. Last time I asked my ps about why it does not go away and he said it is scar and if it does not get better he will put some incision area very black area and hide them inside.I am very upset. I do not know why he did not make inny one. Honestly mine look more natural but I do not think It matters when it is purple.
