What do the scars look like?



Recommended Posts

The surgeon I plan on going with doesn't do Single Incision. I'm curious as to how the scars will look. Is anyone willing to post pics? :) Thanks!

My surgeon made five small incisions. 3 of which I can no longer see. One is so hard to find it will surely disappear as well. The main one, which they pull the actual stomach out of is about 3/4 of an inch long, about half a centimeter wide. It is still light pink, but fading very well. My stomach looks like Freddy Kruger clawed it from stretch marks so I'm not going to post a pic, but I will be getting a Tummy Tuck this summer, and I will post Picts of before and after then. I have talked with my plastic surgeon and he says that where the main scar is is perfect for my new belly button location, so hopefully that scar will be gone as well! In all I am very happy with the scars. Good luck!

I was told that Retin A will make the scars go away. You may want to check with your doctor. It takes about six months but they will fade by using Retin A.
