Abdominoplasty is an increasingly popular surgical procedure today, which helps to restore the abdominal wall to its original state by affecting all layers of the abdominal wall. The aim of the procedure is to eliminate unwanted changes, such as sagging skin, excess fat or loose muscles. Although the surgery can produce spectacular results, scarring is an inevitable part of the process. However, with the right scar management techniques, these scars can now be effectively treated.
Why does scar correction become necessary?
A tummy tuck involves incisions in the lower abdomen, which naturally leave scars. These can include:
- Keloid scars: Thickened scars due to overgrowth of skin.
- Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of the skin around the scar.
- Hypopigmentation: Lightening of the skin in the scar area.
Although plastic surgeons do a precise job, scar formation is also dependent on genetic and healing factors. For this reason, scar correction can be a solution for many patients to remove non-aesthetic scars.
When can scar correction be performed?
Scar correction cannot be done immediately after surgery, as the healing process of the skin takes time. The following rules should be followed:
- The treatment at least half a year, but often 1 year after surgery can be started.
- Scars can only be treated when they are no longer red or pink but have stabilized to a lighter, more stable state.
How is scar correction done?
From medical tattooing special pigments are injected into the skin, the colour of which harmonises with the surrounding skin tone. This makes the scar less visible, blending in almost imperceptibly with the skin.
- Melinda's self-developed technique is different from traditional make-up tattooing methods, so you're guaranteed a natural effect.
- The procedure is safe and long lasting, but several sessions may be needed to achieve perfect results.
The results speak for themselves
