Tummy Tuck surgery Scar After 10 Weeks - Hyperpigmentation Problem
Ten weeks ago I had full Tummy Tuck surgery, and 4 weeks after, I had a small correction of hematoma that didn't heal and the skin was peeled off. Around this correction, hyperpigmentation started, and now it looks really ugly. Is it normal to get hyperpigmentation in this area post-Tummy Tuck, and will it fade away in time? What can I do to make it disappear?
Time is your friend
Time is the most important thing at the 10 week stage of scar healing. You can also try silicone sheeting or topical products like ScarGuard and Mederma. Those can be used now. Scar revision is something that could be considered (this includes laser, steroid or additional surgery). You may be suprised at how well the scar settles with time though. Good luck and let us all know how things work out.
