A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery. So just as you took the time to choose the best doctor for your surgery, you’ll want to choose the best scar therapy, too. embrace^® Active Scar Defense is the only one that’s clinically proven to help prevent the appearance of dark, raised, visible scars and is preferred by plastic surgeons. Here’s what you’ll want to know:

How it works: The uniquely designed applicator achieves precise tension reduction on the skin, (tension being the key cause of scarring), to gently hold both sides of your closed incision together. Clear video instructions make embrace^® easy to apply, and gentle to remove. We recommend removing embrace^® the evening prior to allow your skin to rest 12 to 24 hours between applications. Even better, embrace^® is water resistant, so you can shower and exercise. And each application lasts an average of 7-10 days, relieving you of a daily regimen.

How it’s made: Its Stress-Shield™ Technology is constructed of medical-grade silicone and adhesive, protecting from everyday movement while hydrating and softening your skin. The result is a lighter, thinner, flatter scar.

When to start: Apply embrace^® on new scars less than 6 months old. For optimal results, use 1 to 4 weeks after suture removal. Tip: The earlier you treat, the better your results.

Lastly, follow through with 60 days of treatment for a beautiful finish. Congratulations on doing all you can for a great post-surgical outcome!
