Is there a way to remove thick, dark scars post Tummy Tuck? (photos)

Asked By:jbird93

I had a tummy tuck a year ago and the scars from it are still very thick and dark. I’ve tried scar strips and gels, they didn’t help. My surgeon told me it was my fault for being in the sun before surgery. No one warned me that being in the sun would make me scar so bad. The only solution my surgeon offered was injecting a steroid into the scar.
