The first four week after surgery I didn't notice any stretch marks at all. Right now I put coco butter on day and night. WThanks very much.
Answer: Stretch marks and tummy tucks
A tummy tuck will effectively remove most stretch marks from the level of your belly button to your pubic area. Any stretch marks higher or above your belly button will typically remain, however they will be in a lower position once the procedure is completed. I have not seen new stretch marks created due to a tummy tuck procedure.
If you have new red stretch marks,you can try Mederma or a silicone based scar cream such as Kelo-cote or Hybrisil.
Follow up with your plastic surgeon for a more detailed physical exam and evaluation.
Best wishes,
Dr.Bruno

CONTACT NOW Answer: Previous stretch marks likely more noticeable post-op. It’s not unusual for abdominoplasty patients to have extensive stretch marks.In many cases, these stretch marks are located above the umbilicus prior to surgery.When abdominoplasty is performed these stretch marks may not be totally removed, but instead relocated to a level below the umbilicus.When these stretch marks are stretched by a tight abdominal closure, they may not be noticeable.As the closure relaxes, they may become red and extremely visible.It’s unlikely that stretch marks would develop following abdominoplasty surgery.Stretch marks take time to develop and for this reason this scenario would be unlikely.Under the circumstances, stretch marks that were present prior to surgery have probably become more noticeable in your case.

Answer: Stretch marks are not caused by tummy tucks (abdominopasty).
I have never seen a stretch mark caused by an abdominoplasty. Many are removed when they are below the navel and some might be moved somewhat, but never created (in my experience). There is no non-surgical treatment for stretch marks so don't waste your money.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Stretch Marks
It is very unusual for patients to develop stretch marks after a tummy tuck. Most often stretch marks on the abdomen after a tummy tuck are from prior to surgery, but perhaps became more noticeable once the skin was stretched and tightened. Only stretch marks below the belly button can be removed with a tummy tuck in the area where the excess skin is removed.

Answer: Stretch marks after abdominoplasty It is very unusual that you are forming stretch marks from surgery. It is more likely that you are visualizing pre existing striae that become more visible from increased blood supply during the healing process.
