How to reduce scarring after a tummy tuck?

Surgery Editor Nick Posting update : 2021.06.14

 

 

A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery through which a surgeon removes excess fat and cuts off the excess skin from the lower abdomen.

 

 

Many people are worried about the scarring after a tummy tuck. Often, they ask if there is any quicker way to reduce the scarring after the surgery.

 

 

A tummy tuck does not leave any big or visible scars on the body. However, there might be redness on the incision line.

 

 

 

 

Regularly applying scar creams or ointment may be a good alternative to reduce post-surgical redness and scarring. You can purchase over-the-counter scar ointment at the pharmacy.

 

 

Above all, avoiding strenuous physical exercises and following all the post-surgery instructions will guarantee the desired result and accelerate the recovery process.
