What can I do to minimize the appearance of my tummy tuck scar? 6 months post op (Photos)

Thanks for your question! There are certain laser treatments and microneedling that can help the appearance of your scar. Keep in mind that scars will continue to mature for 1-2 years after surgery. Good luck!

Thanks for the question. You do have a great result. You are also doing the right thing with scar management.

The short answer to your question is to simply give it more time. In 6 more months it will be entirely different. In the meantime make sure you avoid any significant sun exposure and/or put sunscreen on. continue the silicone and scar massage. Eventually, it will improve and I think it will start very soon. In fact, if you look critically at your scar you will see some areas that are slightly lighter in color. Those areas are maturing faster than the rest of the scar, as is usually the case. In time, those areas will enlarge and new areas of fading will occur. Be patient.

However, you certainly can try some light based therapies, intense pulsed light, laser, etc. They "might" speed things up, but the ultimate result will be exactly the same in time. Always consider the time, cost and risk of these treatments.

Hello and thank you for your question.
You can have laser to the scar or micro needling to the scar. This will help to reduce the redness. Talk with your surgeon for his/her recommendation and guidelines . Best wishes!
