I'm 4 weeks post op of TT. When does this awful itching stop?
Answer: Itching after tummy tuck Hello Molly-As long as everything appears to be healing well, itching is generally a symptom that is related to normal healing and is therefore is a good thing. With time, it will decrease in severity and frequency...signficantly in the next couple months. Happy Holidays.

Answer: Itching postop Could it be related to your garment? If so wear cotton underneath as a barrier. Keep your skin moisturized and try OTC itching relief. For severe itching, try doxapin cream. This should normalize as your nerves accommodate during the haling process.

Answer: When does the itching stop? Itching typically means you are healing, that being said you need to speak with your plastic surgeon. Could it be meds? Could it dressings? Could it be the ointment of the wound? Did they use skin glue? Could it be the binder or garment? These are a few of the things to consider.Good LuckStephen M.
