I got a tummy tuck scar revision 7 months ago.can you let me know if I have dog ears? What can be done to correct my scar?
Answer: Dog Ears After Tummy Tuck You have back creases, probably there all along before your tummy tuck but not examined closely. Your tummy tuck scars are fairly long already. There can always be a transition between the incision and then the skin on the back that wasn't tightened. I use the term "dog ears" to describe a protuberance or "dart" at the ends of the incision that sticks out. I don't really see that happening in your case.

Answer: Revision can be done for the dog ears, followed by melarase creams and laser treatment 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: Dog ears Thanks for your question. From the appearance in the pictures, you do not have dog ears. You have excess skin and some residual fat on your back that is causing your concern.
