How can I repair/improve my "train tracks" around my belly button. My dr says there is nothing that can be done but I don't really buy that.
Answer: Train tracks aroun belly button one year post? The post op complication as demonstrated could have been avoided by subcuticular suturing... Not to late in my opinion. A decorative tattoo would hide the area...

Answer: Revise "train track" scars around belly button after tummy tuck I agree that your scar can be revised. That would involve excision of the scar and repair possibly using local anesthesia.

Answer: Train tracks around belly button one year post? The scar is from the superficial sutures that were placed at the time of your surgery. The earlier these are removed, the less chance of 'Train track' scars. I disagree with the physicians who recommend a tattoo. Dermabrasion or Collagen Induction Treatment with a series of microneedling (I use the DermaPen) will help camouflage these scars nicely. It would also help with any residual stretch marks that may remain on the skin after the tummy tuck. DO NOT get a tattoo unless you really want one in this area.

Answer: Poor umbilical scar following a rhinoplasty The scar around the umbilicus is the most visible portion of an abdominoplasty. Once the scar has turned white it will not change. The key would have been to remove the sutures early. In your case a minor surgical revision would significantly improve your result.
