I would think they would be gone by then if you use scar cream...maybe I'm naiive but im 2.5 weeks out and the incisions are almost gone and I may begin to use scar cream so those will be gone soon.

freespirit63 112 Posted June 10, 2013 it takes about a year for scars to fade. Your stomach gets pulled down and scar lowers but does not go away, ofcouse depends on how much skin you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually the Dr cuts from the navel down all away, creates a new navel, and pulls the top down to tighten. As well most tummy tucks also include the under muscles being tightened! But no - what is there above your navel then becomes your whole tummy. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
******** 397 Posted June 10, 2013 Scars and stretch marks that are above your belly button do not ever go away. but if you make the necessary precautions you can prevent scaring all together. One of my incisions (above the belly button) is all the way healed completely and you can no longer see it. And I'm only 2.5 weeks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristieAtkinson 589 Posted June 10, 2013 I had a corset trunkplasty 2 weeks ago because I lost over 150 pounds & needed skin removed from the upper, middle & lower stomach. Its a more extensive scar than the Tummy Tuck scar. (It goes under both breasts, straight down my belly & hip to hip) However the super tiny scars from my sleeve and 1/2 my stretch marks are now gone. Lol. 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my incisions (above the belly button) is all the way healed completely and you can no longer see it. And I'm only 2.5 weeks out. Not on everyone. Every person is different. Every single woman has different skin. Yes my lower ones nearer to my navel were either light or cut off with my MMO- but one single one that was right beneath my breast stayed. But it's okay :-) I'm fine with it- it's moved down now after my Tummy Tuck - and I'm 5 weeks out today from it- and my entire hip to hip and double anchor breast incisions are completely healed and almost not visible- so I think it depends on where the scars are at on our bodies also :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoannLz 62 Posted June 11, 2013 I had my gullblader removed about 14 years ago. And those r gone u cannt even c those. So I'm hoping my wls ones will do the same. And my strech marks ar all on my gut below my belly button. So I hope most of those go with a tt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
