Incision is itching two weeks post op. When is it OK to start putting the scar ointment on the incision?

When to start scar creams will depend on the progress of the healing after your tummy tuck.We like to use any body lotion for the itch as this is part of normal healing, and like to add scar creams after four weeks.

This is a great question for your surgeon. He/she needs to give you the green light in regards to putting ointments and creams on your incision. In my practice, I typically wait until the sutures are out before beginning a silicone scar based treatment.
