How to remove scar / indentation in subcutaneous fat from midline incision for hysterectomy? (photo)

jessibear07Apr 9, 2023
Hello. I am a 34yr old African-Americaan female. On March 8th, I had a hysterectomy. While I am thankful the surgery basically saved my life, I now have a midline incision causing a indentation in my stomach. It looks like a front butt. What can I do to not have an indented scar? I have been doing scar massages with Vitamin E oil for the last 2 weeks, as instructed by my surgeon. But it looks crazy.
