Dent

[aprilcarrie 6]

I guys I'm 3 weeks out and still have a dent in my stomach where my big incision was did anyone else have anything like this and if so when did it go away the incision is healed fine.

The dented scars don't heal the same as raised scars, from what I've heard. For example, the surface treatment like ScarAway or Mederma won't help because they work by flattening raised scars.

If it doesn't fill in some by itself you'll probably have to see a plastic surgeon if you want it "fixed." But, the scars overall get a lot better as time goes by. Even only 3+ months out my scars are starting to fade some. I got a massage the other day and the masseuse said she thought after a year the scars wouldn't be noticeable.

I had a big indent, and at 3 1/2 months post op it has went away and is the same as the others.

I had a really bad dent on my big incision. It mostly went away at 4 weeks, only I could tell a little. And 2 months out it's completely gone. I was really paranoid about it and I asked everyone. I'm sure it will go away soon.

Same here. Mine looked really extreme to me for the first few weeks. At about 5 weeks it is doing very well and has flattened out. Now if two of my raised scars would just do the same....

Thank you so much for asking about this. I'm almost 2 months out and my big incision pulls inward as well. I'm glad to hear from others that it should eventually go away!
