How to reduce or avoid Scarring from Tummy Tuck

 

A tummy tuck tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to create an overall appearance that is more aesthetically pleasing and slimmer. Creating a flatter, firmer mid-section will drastically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping the body feel more confident and secure.

Tummy tuck is a two part process

You can expect a scar if you get a tummy tuck. There are steps that you can take to reduce the exposure, however. What you are doing before your surgery is just as important as what you are doing in recovery, if not more important.

Here's what you should bear in mind before your surgery, what to look for later, and what are your scar removal options.

What you can do next to one of your tummy

It is important that you look at their portfolio when choosing a surgeon. For their skill set and typical results, this will give you a reference frame. You're going to want to select someone who's proven to be a reputable surgeon and you're comfortable with.

Speak to your doctor about the scarring before the surgery. You will address any particular concerns you may have and evaluate what your scar looks like. You may have a V- or U-shaped scar depending on your particular surgery.

Take your surgical preparation appointment with panties or bikini bottoms so you can get a clear idea of where your panty line will be scarring.

Until the surgery, you should also stop smoking for at least six months. This will lead to reducing complications.

What can you do after your tummy tuck?

It is extremely important that you follow all your surgeon's aftercare instructions.

Some general guidelines are as follows:

• Continue for at least six weeks to refrain from smoking.
• Try to walk after the surgery as soon as possible. This reduces blood clot swelling and risk.
• Refrain from lifting heavy objects and for at least six weeks stop any strenuous activity.
• Take a healthy diet. Include plenty of fluids, vegetables, fresh fruit.
• Avoid any activity that will stretch, bend, or cause your abdomen to be pressurized.
• After your surgery, avoid sexual activity for three weeks.

Some research suggests that the topical use of vitamin E can improve scars ' appearance. It can also aid the moisturization of your wound.

If you experience skin irritation or allergic reaction of any kind, discontinue use.

For at least one year after your surgery, it is important to use sunscreen on your scar. If you can, the safest thing is to avoid the area being sunny.

Scars are made from new skin and have a different reaction to the sun than normal skin. A scar will prevent the use of sunscreen from becoming darker than the surrounding skin.

If you can, use a specially crafted formula for scars. Something SPF 30 or higher should also be used.

What can you do if you still have a scar?

Within about 12 weeks, the scar will mostly be healed, but it can take up to one year to heal fully. You may want to wait for it to be healed to determine whether to perform any surgical procedures that will reduce its appearance.

Both techniques are not going to be able to eliminate the scar entirely, but they can help improve its length, color and texture.

Laser treatment

Laser surfacing is one of the easiest ways to enhance scar texture and color. It engineering will be able to resurface the body. Scarred skin is replaced by healthy collagen which improves the overall texture and color.

Steroid applications and injections

Using steroid patches or injections to get rid of high, dark, or red bruises. Such procedures can be used for scar reduction at the time of surgery or for correction four weeks after surgery.

Surgical Scar Revision

Scar revision surgery is a choice if you want a scar that is similar to your normal skin in tone and texture. A mixture of topical therapies, minimally invasive procedures and surgical reconstruction may be used by the physician. You can still see the scar, but it's going to be less visible.

The end of the line

Knowing that a tummy tuck will leave you with a permanent scar is significant. Ask why you have a tummy tuck and what advantages you want to get from it. If the desired benefits outweigh the inconvenience of having a scar, it is likely to be worth it.

You can also think about the scar reduction possibilities. Take pre- and post-operative steps to facilitate a healthy healing process to minimize scarring.
