PSI Raves About - Tummy Tuck Tattoos

When something like ScarArt comes along, you automatically start wondering why something so basic took so long.

ScarArt products are actually temporary tattoos that are specifically designed for concealing tummy tuck scars. Right now the retailers are marketing three really cute designs and we are hoping they expand to more interesting stuff.

Not much can be done for scars that are obtained after a satisfying tummy tuck surgery except to deal with their unpleasing appearance and then forget about them as they gradually fade. For women who are used to showing skin and love mid-riff baring tops, the post-tummy tuck recovery period can be rather irksome.

A strip of butterflies or a band of flowers floating about the belly admittedly looks much better than an angry, swollen scar. Their clever way of concealing tummy tuck scars for a couple of days makes ScarArt a very cheerful recovery aid. The manufacturers claim the tattoos are FDA regulated and make use of safe adhesives and colors that don’t smudge and are waterproof. All the more reason to get one or all of them!

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advance surgical institute for cosmetic tummy tuck procedures thinks aids like these could make the recovery process more fun. It certainly could encourage women to go out more during the scar healing period.
