Tummy Tuck Photos

Note the precise placement of the incisions and the belly button and the dramatic improvement in contour. Also note the dark scar, which reflects an early result. This scar will fade over time and will look as good as possible. Patients should always be aware that the perfect tummy tuck result is dramatic improvement in contour with a low, symmetric scar and an unobtrusive belly button. The width of the scar and color of the scar is a function of intrinsic patient healing characteristics and has nothing to do with the technical expertise of the surgeon. Dr. Hughes does not accept credit for fine, unnoticeable scars, and he does not accept criticism for wide or pigmented scars. Dr. Hughes is however a published scar and scar revision expert, and he will employ the scientifically supported best therapy or surgical treatment for scar improvement.
