I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago with no complications. Everything seemed fine until yesterday. I noticed a blister on my scar. It doesn’t hurt at all and I don’t have signs of infection. It doesn’t feel hot and I have not had an infection.

Answer: Blister This appears to be a suture that has come to the surface. It is easily handled in your surgeon's office. The area will be opened and the suture end trimmed (which is virtually painless). This also could be an ingrown hair. After a short visit to your surgeon it will be just a little TLC at home for a few days and it should heal up just fine.

Answer: Blister on scar Dear Giving478055, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
