Tattoos on scars: a beautiful visual camouflage if you choose the right design

Tattooing today is a type of body art, thanks to which everyone can not only decorate the body, but also emphasize their individuality. However, there are situations in which people use tattoos not only as decoration for different parts of their body, but also as the only option to regain their attractiveness and hide skin defects and scars left after injuries or operations. Tattoos made on scars very skillfully cope with this important task, and this is discussed below in our article.

Photos of tattoos for scars after operations

Scars after surgical interventions can be located on any part of your body, and when choosing a tattoo in such cases, it is simply impossible to adhere to certain and standard options. An experienced master will easily offer you similar sketch ideas and help you make an individual choice that will maximally hide the scars and defects that bother you. For small defects, you can opt for refined and neat images. For large scars, choose weaving and more voluminous sketches, giving preference to an abundance of colors and transitions. These can be original patterns, abstraction and geometric directions, images of animals, mythical creatures, inscriptions and all kinds of ideas that your imagination and the skillful hands of a master are capable of. Below we will look at some of the possible tattoo options.

Postoperative hernia rehabilitation

Immediately after the operation, an elastic bandage is put on, which must be worn for a month.

At the BEAUTY DOCTOR clinic, patients are accommodated in single and double comfortable rooms.

The wards are equipped with continuous monitoring systems to monitor the patient's condition after surgery. Multifunctional beds create the opportunity to position and feed the patient after surgery in the most convenient position for him.

Each patient is provided with individual nursing care.

Since we use minimally invasive and maximally gentle techniques when repairing postoperative hernias, the postoperative period proceeds easily and without any special complications.

The next day after the operation, the patient goes home on his own, and after another 8-9 days comes for a follow-up examination and removal of sutures.

Two weeks after surgery, you are allowed to resume moderate physical activity (running, brisk walking). After endoscopic hernioplasty, such loads can be resumed within a few days.

A month after the operation, the patient can lead a normal lifestyle and play sports.

Tattoos for stomach scars

The positive qualities of tattoos in this direction is the large area for the artist to perform the work. You can choose any design that will skillfully disguise your problem area on the stomach, and for this the artist can offer you a tattoo of any size. The only disadvantages of performing such sketches are increased pain and sprains that may appear in this area of ​​the body.

Postoperative hernia surgery

Operations for postoperative hernias are technically more complex and require highly qualified specialists, because surgical intervention is performed on tissues with scar changes.

Our clinic uses the most modern methods of treating postoperative hernias: for example, tension-free hernioplasty using the latest endoprostheses (including 3D), open and endoscopic hernioplasty.

Hernia repair using endoprosthesis

Hernioplasty is the most effective surgical method for treating hernia of the white line of the abdomen. During the operation, the defect of the postoperative scar through which the hernia emerges is closed with a special mesh endoprosthesis.

The foreign-made high-tech synthetic endoprostheses we use are very reliable, elastic, highly extensible and therefore do not limit the mobility of the abdominal wall.

The use of a mesh endoprosthesis protects the suture area from tension and thus provides three main advantages compared to the traditional surgical technique (tension plasty with local tissue):

  • Extremely mild pain syndrome. Patients generally do not need to take pain medications after surgery.
  • Short rehabilitation period. The patient goes home on his own the next day after the operation, and a month after the operation he can lift weights and play sports.
  • Minimal risk of relapse. With proper placement of the endoprosthesis, recurrence of the hernia is practically impossible, whereas with the traditional technique it ranges from 6 to 14 percent.

The implant is not felt at all and does not cause any pain or discomfort.

Within a month after the operation, the mesh grows with connective tissue and over time, complete engraftment of the endoprosthesis occurs. The result is an anatomically unified complex that reliably closes the defect (weak spot) of the anterior abdominal wall and protects the tissue from repeated stretching.

We use two methods of installing an endoprosthesis: open and closed (endoscopic).

Open hernioplasty

With open hernioplasty, access to the contents of the hernia and the hernial orifice is through an external incision.

Next, hernia repair proceeds according to the following algorithm:

  • isolation and opening of the sac with the contents of the hernia
  • elimination of organ adhesions in the hernial sac, their reduction into the abdominal cavity
  • removal of the hernial sac
  • closing the hernial orifice using a special type of plastic surgery (hernioplasty)
  • application and fastening of a special mesh implant of an individual shape
  • if necessary, excision of the old postoperative scar, formation of a cosmetic intradermal suture with special suture material

Our surgeons always perform the operation taking into account aesthetic requirements: the incisions made are minimal, the instruments used are atraumatic, and the sutures are applied using ultra-thin suture material.

Endoscopic hernioplasty

The most modern and low-traumatic method of hernia removal is endoscopic, or closed, hernioplasty.

Endoscopic access in the treatment of postoperative hernias is widely used abroad.

This method is actively used in our clinic, since it has a number of undeniable advantages in the treatment of postoperative hernias:

  • no risk of developing postoperative hernias at puncture sites,
  • complete absence of pain syndrome,
  • short recovery period (start of physical activity after a few days)
  • the shortest rehabilitation period (one hundred percent return to active life in a maximum of two weeks)
  • minimal number of relapses (less than 1%).

Unlike the classic open surgery technique, surgery is performed not through one large incision, but through three small punctures (0.5 - 0.6 cm).

Special endoscopic manipulators with a miniature video camera are inserted into them, sending an image to the monitor. With its help, the doctor monitors the progress of the operation.

The operation is carried out according to the same algorithm as with open access. But with endoscopic plastic surgery, a mesh implant is installed not through an external incision, but from inside the abdominal cavity at the site of the defect.

Endoscopic hernioplasty gives better results because... the location of the mesh on the side of the abdominal cavity more reliably protects the defect of the abdominal wall with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure.

This method of treating postoperative hernias is carried out using special expensive multilayer meshes. One of the layers of such a mesh is made of a special chemical compound that prevents the formation of adhesions between the endoprosthesis and the abdominal organs.

Abdominoplasty

If there are stretch marks, excess skin and subcutaneous fat on the abdomen, then it is recommended to combine the removal of a postoperative hernia with abdominoplasty.

This allows, simultaneously with hernia repair, to remove the skin-fat “apron”, eliminate sagging skin and stretch marks, and form a flat stomach and thin waist.

The operation to eliminate a postoperative hernia can also be supplemented with liposuction of the abdomen or other parts.

Hand tattoos: ideas, photos

Scars on the hands, unfortunately, appear much more often than other defects. And this largely depends on greater contact of hands with the environment, which is often very aggressive towards us. For tattoos on large arm scars, artists recommend using a denser infusion of colored pigments and choosing correspondingly larger pictures. If you have minor damage, you can stop at a small sketch, be sure to take into account its meaning, for example, an image of an arrow, sakura branches and other ideas that appeal to you.

How to beautifully hide a caesarean section scar

Any woman who is preparing to become a mother may face such surgical intervention as delivery by cesarean section. After this procedure, a scar remains in the lower abdomen, which in most cases creates discomfort and causes tightness. For those who decide to correct this defect by applying a tattoo, artists offer a large selection of sketches that will help “disguise” this problem. Mostly women prefer exquisite floral patterns with interlacing, or other thematic designs or openwork inscriptions. It is only worth noting that tattoos on such scars look beautiful only on toned muscles, so you should carefully weigh all the pros and cons before performing this procedure.

How to cover scars with a tattoo: advice from experts

Sometimes getting a tattoo is impossible for some reason, for example, medical contraindications, a psychological barrier or any other reason, then you can take a different route and cover the defect that bothers you with an “invisible” tattoo. In this case, you need to trust only an experienced and trusted specialist who will select a pigment that ideally matches the color of the skin, because scars on exposed parts of the body - on the neck, face and hands - are mostly covered. After applying such a tattoo, there may be a difference in the color of the skin when tanning, and this procedure is also not particularly effective for large scars and raised scars. In such cases, salon masters may offer you a different type of tattoo.

Special tattoos to cover scars

In addition to tattoos that skillfully disguise scars, cover them, or in some cases serve as an addition and act as decoration for these defects, tattoo designs that completely cover imperfections on the body are popular. They can be performed on any part of the body, and skillfully hide not only postoperative scars, minor injuries, but also large areas of skin after a burn, for example, or other similar defects. Such drawings are distinguished by their size and the sophistication of the master’s work. They are often made according to individual sketches and look like real works of art.

Are there non-surgical methods for treating incisional hernia?

Treatment of postoperative hernia is carried out only with the help of surgery - hernioplasty. There are several methods used depending on the stage of development of the hernia.

The intervention must be performed as early as possible, because A long-existing hernia is prone to progression and the appearance of various complications.

The use of new technologies, the use of modern plastic and suture materials, and many years of experience of our surgeons guarantee the highest quality of operations to eliminate postoperative hernia, the absence of postoperative complications and relapse (recurrence of the disease).

Original tattoos for girls: masking scars and defects

Young ladies who choose to solve the problem by applying a tattoo should not forget about the durability of such a design and think in advance about what exactly they want to see on their body. To begin with, you can make a preliminary sketch, which will help you finally decide on the choice of design. As we said above, any floral or floral ornaments, birds, twigs and inscriptions, abstraction, hieroglyphs or an image of an animal or any other image are considered relevant tattoos for women. The drawing should contain many small details, smooth transitions, colored highlights, and ideally mask the problem.

In our article, we introduced you, dear readers, a little to what turned out to be an important and necessary procedure, such as tattooing on scars. It only remains to add that to apply a tattoo, you must not only decide on the choice of design, but also consult with a doctor and wait until the scar or scar is completely healed. We wish you good luck!
