Tummy tuck scars
Softening tummy tuck and abdominal scars.
Learn more about the technique
Abdominoplasty scars run hip to hip and can heal darker than the skin around them. We soften the colour and blend the line back into your skin, so the result of your surgery is what stands out.
Tummy tuck scars are long and often heal darker or lighter than your natural tone. Depending on your scar, we use pigment camouflage, dark scar correction or a combination, matched carefully to your skin.
If the scar has texture or ridging, we may start with restorative needling to smooth it before any colour goes in.

FAQ
Common questions
My scar is darker than my skin. Can you lighten it?
Yes, darker scars are common after a tummy tuck. We use dark scar correction to soften the colour, then blend. Read more about dark scar and pigmentation treatment.
Can you recreate my belly button too?
We can. Many clients pair scar work with a 3D belly button tattoo, and we’ll plan the order with you.
How long after surgery can I book?
Your scar needs to be fully healed and settled first, which is often around 12 months after surgery. We’ll assess this at your consultation.
How do I get started?
Every treatment begins with a complimentary consultation, in the studio or by video. We’ll assess your skin and give you a realistic plan, with no obligation. Book your consultation.
