do tummy tuck scars fade?
Tummy tuck scars are unfortunately unavoidable. Since the procedure requires large incisions, there’s no way to prevent some amount of scarring, although the overall amount will depend on the specifics of the procedure. The more excess fat and skin that needs to removed, the larger the scars will be. Small scale tummy tucks may result in just a small scar, but full those who receive a full lower body lift, scarring may be significant. The most common locations for scars are around the belly button, and across the abdomen, from hip to hip. Fortunately, skilled surgeons will strategically place incisions so that tummy tuck scars are easily concealable.
