Hi dear doctor community, I’ve done my research about tummy tuck post op incisions and recovery. However, I don’t feel there’s enough data(mostly pictures) of tanned skin women. Mostly Caucasian. Can someone please tell me what color a one-year-scar turns into for tanned women? Thanks for sharing

Answer: Final Scar Color Thank you for your question regarding the final color of a scar. A scar can vary from person to person, but also vary on the same person depending on the location on the body. Scars have a pretty typical healing process where they start out red, fade to pink, and finally fade to a pale skin color/white. I recommend an in person consultation with two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation. Best wishes!

Answer: Scar coloring Scar coloring can be influenced by your genetics. Typically after scars have fully matured they should be within a few shades of your natural skin tone. I invite you to peruse the photo gallery on my website to help you.
