Answer: TT scars It's quite common for the scar edges to be a little bunched or elevated at this early stage of healing. Your scar will mature over the course of a year and change over that time. Give it time to go through the proper phases. You can use silicone sheets/gels once it's completely healed around 4 weeks. Consult with your plastic surgeon prior to applying any new topical ointments.

Answer: How do mini tummy tick stitches look? (photos) From the photos, I see no evidence of incision line separation or poor healing. The length and visibility of the mini TT scar will vary from person to person but is placed near the public bone. A follow-up visit to your plastic surgeon's office is the best way to obtain detailed feedback.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
