When I was 18 I had a surgical procedure that left me with a vertical scar under my belly button. I am now 29 years old .I also have imprints of the staples used to put me back together. In addition there seems to be an indentation on the lower part of the of my stomach due to the scar. I want to decrease the appearance of the scar and also remove the indentation that divides my stomach. What should I do???
