Scarring is one of the biggest concerns among FDL adominoplasty patients. Scars will fade over time, but patients will need to be comfortable with the vertical scar which cannot be fully hidden by undergarments. For many who have lost a lot of weight, the incision is worth it to see their renewed body contours.
Some tips for preventing scars include:
Keep scars covered in the sun
Use recommended products
Prevent the scars from drying out
Consider microneedling or similar procedures
Prevent stressing the incisions during the initial healing period
