When considering a tummy tuck, the most pressing concern voiced by patients is the size and position of the scar. The goal is to have a firm, tight midsection and to be able to wear a bikini or low cut jeans with no tell tale scar showing.Dr. Rahban has earned a reputation for outstanding tummy tuck results. He avoids unsatisfactory scarring issues beginning with proper placement of the incision and concluding surgery by personally closing the incision himself, unlike many other surgeons.
Avoiding disappointing tummy tuck results
Tummy tuck scars form when the incision has too much tension at the edge during healing. Dr.Rahban uses a progressive tension suturing technique, meticulously closing multiple layers from the inside out, and using many sutures to ensure both side of the wound are under minimal tension. This highly compulsive technique avoids the formation of unsightly tummy tuck scars. Los Angeles residents regularly consult Dr. Rahban concerning scar repair treatment due to his reputation for creating thin scars that are virtually invisible once fully healed.
Tummy tuck scars generally take a year to fully resolve. This allows the body to cycle through the healing process. While this is ongoing, the scar will get better, worsen and finally settle. After this time, if the scar is still unsatisfactory, it will need to be repaired.
