What can be done to minimize the appearance of tunnel scars from TUBA? (photo)

Question

I had TUBA BA in 2011 and was left with tunnel scars along my abdomen from belly button to breast. I’m extremely self-conscious about them. They show through tank tops and fitted shirts so I always wear baggy clothes. I also don’t wear two piece bathing suits. I tried talking to my plastic surgeon but he just told me I could have a tummy tuck or lipo but lipo may not help or could make worse. Anything that might make them look better or less noticeable?

I would suggest posting a photo with you standing that shows your whole abdomen. Liposuction can remove excess fat and help decrease the bulging. Micro-needling can help improve scarring.

Hello! Thank you for the question and the photo, although it is difficult to evaluate it based on that photo alone, it seems to be a good candidate for abdominoplasty, which would offer multiple benefits, such as repair of the abdominal muscle, which would lead to eliminating the already existing problem. .
