I had a tummy tuck 13 months ago. I did not have enough skin to remove so consequently I have a t-scar. This T-scar Shows my prior belly button piercing holes and is also slightly indented. Would you recommend anything to improve the appearance of this t-scar? overall, I am extremely happy with the outcome of this entire procedure. I have a follow up with my surgeon soon as well.

Answer: Scar This is a good question. Sometimes non-invasive things can be done to help scarring - this can include silicone gel/sheets, lasers, compression, injections etc. Since your surgery is over a year out, the scar is considered a "mature" scar and will not change too much with non-invasive modalities. If the indentation continues to bother you, you may consider a scar revision where the scar is cut out and closed again. This is a quick, straightforward procedure that can be done awake in the office. Hope this helps!

Answer: Improvement of the vertical scar of a tummy tuck Thank you for your query. The piercing can be closed with a small scar revision under local anaesthesia.. For the rest of the scar which has the indentation, I would recommend autologous fat injections after subcision . Please discuss your options with your Plastic surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Scar Revision for T-Scar and Indentation Can Improve Appearance Thank you for your question and for sharing your history. Based on your description, it sounds like you are an excellent candidate for scar revision to improve the appearance of your T-scar. Scar revision involves excising the old scar tissue and creating a new, more aesthetically pleasing scar. This is a straightforward procedure that many plastic surgeons perform, especially when addressing concerns like prior piercing holes or indentations.
