Correction for an Ugly Scar and Bump Left by Thrombosis Surgery?

I had to have a surgery for a thrombosis in my colon, it has left me w/ an ugly scar, and also a bump that is not a hernia.

I work-out constantly but to no avail. Clothes fit horrible w/ the bump and I just hate the scar. Can I get rid of it somehow?

A tummy tuck might be a solution

Without a photgraph, it is difficult to say but if the scar is below the belly button and if you have enough loose skin a tummy tuck may be an option. If not, a scar revision might be helpful.
