Why is my scar indented? (photos)

April 9, 2015
Asked By:Jess3054 in Chicago, IL

I had a full TT 4months ago, as I'm healing the center of my scar is rising and indenting. I had a c-section type scar there previously from a ovarian cyst removal years ago. My doctor said the scar would be gone after the TT. When I showed her the indentation she said it was from my old scar and scar tissue and she is going to revise that area of the scar by stitching lower. If My skin from my TT was pulled lower than my original scar why is this an issue? Why extra skin and wrinkles again too
