Greetings Doc, i am 25 and i am looking for many years a way to get rid of loose without getting a mark from the surgery. A friend of mine told me that there is a way to avoid the mark with internal stitches but doctors say that this is not possible to happen. Is there anything you can suggest me that would work?
