Scar Progress
I had a full mommy makeover in January. My tummy tuck removed 8lbs of loose skin and included major muscle repair.
I was cleared to start using scar tape at my 6 week appointment. I’ve been using a combination of scar gel and silicone scar tape 6 days a week, and one day I switch to massaging my scars with Aquaphor ointment. Weeks 6-10 my scar got redder but the pleating started to go away, weeks 10-12 it was very red, weeks 12-14 it turned purple, it peaked around week 15 and it’s now starting to get lighter. The pleating is virtually all gone and my scar is starting to really flatten out. The scars on my breasts have been healing incredibly fast and are already quite light in most places.
I have some spitting sutures popping through in a few places that I’ll be going to have taken care of this week, but that’s a minor issue. I am very happy with how I’m healing.
