Can belly button scarring be improved 6 years post tummy tuck? (Photos)

July 30, 2023
Asked By:kellyess

I had a tummy tuck 6 years ago and gained weight during covid, which led me to bariatric surgery a year ago to reverse and stem future weight gain. Whilst I have no regrets, I'm not happy with my belly button scarring as the stitch lines are so visible. Would be interested to know my options on how to achieve a more pleasing result aesthetically, perhaps even reducing the amount it protrudes so there’s less scarring visible outside the fold. Or other revision options for improvement.
