Can anything be done about indented abdominal scars? It's 23 years old, from Surgery as a baby. It's never stretched just looks worse when I have more fat on me. I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant and I'm hoping it stretches a bit but most say it'll stay the same. What options do I have to make it look more normal?

Answer: Scar Dear jadey1307 it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from scar revision. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
