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

Question

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.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns. I recommend Vanquish to all my post-liposuction patients, which you can have now.  After liposuction, I also recommend exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
