They are just like any other scar – permanent. Sure, your plastic surgeon makes the incision “below the  bikini line”. But you see it in the mirror, and romantic partners see it, too.

What to do?

You can have additional scar “revision” surgery. There is dermabrasion (scraping scar tissue down), chemical peels and laser scar treatments. You may say, “around my tummy?” Many prefer to avoid these medical scar therapies because they would make scars more apparent for the many months of scar treatment.

Silicone scar creams and gels give you private tummy tuck scar treatment.

The advantage of a silicone scar gel is that it is invisible while it works. You avoid drawing more attention to a tummy tuck scar during treatment.

  • Silicone scar treatment forms a protective layer which discourages infection from outside sources.
  • In addition, the layer encourages retention of moisture.
  • Moisture is essential to speeding healing, which reduces scarring.
