If you heal well is it possible to make the scar entirely essentially invisible under a tattoo? With a few people it seems like this is possible
Answer: Low Scar Better Than Tattoo'd Scar Hello, Proper placement of a scar in the thigh-abdominal border, extending it low through the pubic mound, and placement of progressive tension sutures to minimize skin tension at the incision, your scar will be virtually invisible with time. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who make these issues a priority when performing tummy tucks. Best of luck!

Answer: Tattoos and scars It is certainly possible to camouflage a scar with properly placed tattoo. Provided the scar is flat and not raised, this can be done by a professional tattoo artist once you are fully healed.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Tattoo over tummy tuck scar? The best scar treatment is prevention. For abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), that means SHORT, LOW, and HIGH QUALITY CLOSURE. Some scars however, inevitably go on to become dark or hypertrophic (thick, ropy, raised). Tattoo will not camouflage a hypertrophic scar as well as a flat scar, and improvement of the scar is possible usually as a minor office procedure. Some tattoo their scar, and others tattoo elsewhere, which diverts attention from the scar. Case 34 in our gallery is one example, and our butt augmentation gallery shows another. Over time though, it's amazing how well most tummy tuck scars fade into obscurity.

Answer: I have seen a few abdominoplasty "tummy tuck" scars where they are completely hidden under tattoos. Possible or camera trick? You should ask the PS who performs your TT the appropriate time to have a tattoo following the surgery. In general, scarring is a produce of genetics. Some people are good scar formers and others are poorer scar formers. The scar will fade over a year’s time.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
