Is it possible to get scar revision for suprapubic catheter scar?

softballprincessMar 30, 2014
I was diagnosed with female epispadias at the age of 2. Dozens of reconstrutive surgeries later and I am left with quite a few scars. The only one that bothers me is the very large indention left by the Suprapubic catheter that I had when i was 2. I am not over weight, college athlete and very healthy. But at the age of 20 this scar is becoming more and more indented. It seems to be attached to the underlying muscle. How difficult would it be to fix?

Laser hair removal burns may cause discoloration. The first step our office advises is application of Melarase and Plato's Dark Scar Corrector to improve discoloration. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

There is a high risk that another keloid will form with an additional piercing. You are better off not piercing your ear again. Additionally, piercing through the cartilage carries additional risks of infection.
