When it comes to getting that body beach-ready, tummy tucks can be a game-changer. Also called an abdominoplasty, the tummy tuck can trim away fat and flab, leaving a tight, enviable six-pack. Before you get a tummy tuck, it’s important to understand abdominoplasty recovery, part of which is proper scar care. The incisions used during a tummy tuck will leave scars. With diligent care, their appearance will become less and less pronounced, fading into the rest of the skin. They may at times look as though they’re getting worse rather than better, but this is normal and temporary. The overall scar healing [...]
