Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

There is limited data to suggest that PRP will help the appearance of your tummy tuck scar. The best time frames for use aren't really known. However, it has little risk so it is something you could try. If your scar is relatively fresh, a better alternative with studies to back it, is Embrace scar therapy. You can buy it online and it keeps tension off this high-tension scar so it heals better. It is an 8 week course of treatment starting as soon as your incision is completely healed.
Great question. The type of scar treatment will depend on the type of scar. Since there are a variety of tummy tuck scar issues there are naturally a variety of tummy tuck scar treatments. The most useful is often excision of the scar, lower tension closure, and use of Embrace scar treatment device as well as pertinent activity restriction to prevent scar widening or thickening.I hope this helps.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta

Dear tighter, Tummy tuck surgery is one of the best investments in yourself and specifically in your case it can help you with you...
Yes! this is quite common. Old dried blood will come away on its own and is nothing to worry about. The only concern would be if the navel had died and you were mistaking the appearance of a dead navel for old blood. This is really very unlikely, I have not seen it in the last 15...
