Correcting Keloid Scars and Indentations After Tummy Tuck?
I had a full TT May 09. I am 6 Months Post-Op and am not happy w/the results. My new Belly Button has keloided, is reddish/purple very unappealing. Went in for a Mommy Makeover and came out not as expected.
My scar is a inch higher than he marked on sides and still painful. The scar rides my belt line and comes out of most of my clothes, underwear, and is hard to conceal due to placement. Also have skin indentations that weren't there prior. He only followed-up w/me once. Doesn't seem to care about aesthetics. 23, needing advice?...
