Will this crease above my navel go away? I had lipo on 4/12/17 (Photo)

October 3, 2017
Asked By:lwarren1230

I had lipo on my abdomen on 4/12/17 and my stomach is pretty flat. However there's an odd crease above my navel that seems to be the result of a scar that formed from the navel incision. Do you know if that is normal and can it be corrected? I probably should call the doctor, he is great but I feel like I'm splitting hairs over this little detail. Thanks for your time.
