Is there a way to prevent keloid scaring? Interested in a tummy tuck. (photo)

Asked By:bebebeasley in Spokane, WA

I have a history of keloid scaring, and the top procedure I'd like to get is a tummy tuck. I'm aware that only certain parts of the body are prone to keloid scaring the abdomen being one. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this? The pic is of my most recent scar (not the best); accidentally stabbed myself with a leatherman knife at work (I'm an aircraft mechanic). It's been getting larger by the day, the incision was stitched together and is still turning into a keyloid.
