If you have a history of keloid scarring, it is essential to inform your plastic surgeon during your consultation. While a tummy tuck can be performed on individuals with a history of keloid scarring, it requires careful consideration and planning to minimize the risk of excessive scarring. Your plastic surgeon will assess your specific case, evaluate the location and severity of your keloid scars, and may recommend additional measures such as steroid injections or specialized wound care techniques to help reduce the risk of keloid formation and promote optimal healing. It is important to prioritize your safety and satisfaction, and your surgeon will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes your individual circumstances into account.
