Scaring after Tummy Tuck Surgery

The scar length will be different for a mini tummy tuck than for a full tummy tuck. The more skin removal as with a full tummy tuck, the longer the scar. In addition with a full tummy tuck, there is greater tension placed on the scar closure. This can affect the ultimate quality of the scar. The important thing that all body contouring patients must understand, is that all scars are permanent and that almost all scars improve in appearance with time. It will usually take from 12 to 18 months for a full tummy tuck scar to mature. This includes flattening of the scar, fading and loss of redness. Patients must be patient to allow this changes to occur
