I'm very insecure about this tummy tuck I wish it looked like the skin surrounding it. Is there anything i can do for it? I've tried microneedling with prp (2 rounds) flattened it significantly because it use to be more raised. Should I do more rounds of that or is there something else to resurface the skin? Scar revision? Any scar removal options for ethnic skin?
