Tummy Tuck Scar After 10 Weeks - Hyperpigmentation Problem

December 23, 2008
Asked By:Ariela in Latvia

Ten weeks ago I had a full Tummy Tuck, and 4 weeks after, I had a small correction of hematoma that didn't heal and the skin was peeled off. Around this correction, hyperpigmentation started, and now it looks really ugly. Is it normal to get hyperpigmentation in this area post-Tummy Tuck, and will it fade away in time? What can I do to make it disappear?
