1 year after mommy makeover - hardened scar tissue is now visible at incision site, will this go away with weight loss? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question! In general, scars can take approximately 1 year to fully "mature". It is rare to see significant changes in the scar tissue around/after this timeframe. Areas of scar that feel firm/hard under the skin can happen after plastic surgery and there may be different causes. One cause may be scar tissue around the previous internal suture sites. Another may be scar tissue forming around fat cells called "fat necrosis." Options to alleviate these issues can range from massage to injections of steroids to a scar revision procedure. An in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam will help guide your diagnosis and options.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photos, I note lower abdominal fullness, the cause of which is unknown. It could represent disruption of the anterior midline fascial suture line following abdominoplasty, a seroma, or excessive scar deposition after hematoma / seroma, or a lower abdominal fat repository (or perhaps an entity totally unrelated to abdominoplasty). A physical examination is required to determine the nature of this mass. Without knowledge of your height / weight or the nature of the mass, I cannot comment on the effect of proposed weight loss. Fatty tissue will shrink with weight loss, while scar tissue will not significantly change.
Revisit your plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.
Best wishes...

I think some weight loss and some liposuction wound help significantly. If that doesn't resolve everything, then re-excision of the scar and hardened areas may be needed. Best Wishes!!
