Anyone have a tumny tuck here. I lost lot wieght and have loose skin on lower abs where Dr Blau did lipo. 6 yrs ago. Everywhere else is fine.
If you had it what are yiur thougjts in scar. What do women think abiut the scar.
Has thw scar lightend?
Hey Dragonfire, what's up buddy, been a LONG time... hope you're doing great aside from that loose skin problem...
Just seeing this now. If you consider going for that tummy tuck route, please make sure to have some Triamcinolone Acetonide on hands to use for the scar once you'll have cicatrized enough (ie once the wound isn't purulent anymore a few days/weeks after the surgery).
It's a corticosteroid you inject directly into the scar (several shots spread all over), usually once every 2 to 4 weeks for as long as it's noticeable/not light enough to your taste... which means it can take up to 2 years for some.
Cosmetic surgeons mainly use the 40mg/ml version for keloidal scars (won't work on hypertrophic scars), but the 80mg can sometimes be preferred over it in case of very dark scars. You should easily be able to have it prescribed to you.
The main reason I'm mentioning this is because I've seen with my own eyes how effective it actually was, as one of my female friends used it precisely for the same purpose you're thinking of a few years ago, and the results were outstanding.
