Scarring post tummy tuck - suggestions to help the scar? (photos)
October 12, 2021
Asked By:Newperson1994 in Roxborough, County Galway, Ireland
How bad is this scarring (nearly 6 months post op)? I had a bad recovery due to getting a pulmonary embolism 1 week after tummy tuck, in hospital for 3 weeks and now on blood thinners for the next few months. I’m using E45 cream and silicone sheets but the scar is so ugly and I’m just praying it smoothes out and gets lighter. Scar revision not an option as I am petrified of surgery after what happened to me. Any suggestions to help this scar would be greatly appreciated
