Asked By:Chanellover

I had a tummy tuck two months ago. Most of my stretch marks were removed. I was however left with a few white vertical ones that are white and very old, faded. I am now two months post op and a few weeks ago all of a sudden red marks started appearing all over my stomach. I don’t know what this is. I have forward these pics to my doctor with no response as of yet. I am very concerned. Hoping somebody can tell me what it is and what I can do about it.

Sacha Obaid, MD says:

Thank you for your question! Garment size is based on measurements taken prior to an immediately post surgery. It is hard to recommend a certain size before surgery because it is dependent on what procedure you are having and the amount of skin and fat removed. I hope this helps!
