FAQs

Do tummy tuck scars go away? Like most surgical scars, tummy tuck scars may never go away completely, but there are a variety of things you can do to help decrease the visibility of your abdominoplasty scar including using a quick-healing tummy tuck scar recovery product. Tummy tuck scars heal quite a bit in the first few months but can be noticeable for years.
What does the scar look like after a tummy tuck? Generally, the incision performed for a tummy tuck will leave a fairly long horizontal scar along your lower abdomen and much of the scar will heal in the first three months. The darkness of your scar will depend on your skin and usually the scar turns pink, then fades to a thinner white line across your abdomen.
How long does it take for a tummy tuck incision to heal? The timeline for healing a tummy tuck scar depends on a person’s health and how well they take care of their scar after abdominoplasty surgery. Many patients heal enough to return to work a week or two after having a tummy tuck. In most cases, you can return to vigorous exercise after a month or two, and the majority of the tummy tuck scar will heal in three to six months.
