Track mark on stomach? I'm only 3 weeks post op from lipo of abdomen.

Asked By:Glk15 in Lake Oswego, OR

There's still a lot of change ahead. However I have noticed a track mark from a cannula going up from an incision and ending in a somewhat noticeable dimple. The track mark is only noticeable when I arch my back or stretch my stomach out so it's not a big indentation but I was wondering if this is for sure permanent, as I know trackmarks can be. In addition my doctor didn't give me a compression garment, I may go get a spanx one today.
