Great question. Although I can’t say exactly what treatment is right for you without knowing more details, there are several treatment options you might want to talk to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon about. For indented scars, using a dermal filler to “plump” the scar can diminish the appearance of the scar, but usually needs to be repeated every so often. You can also explore laser treatments like the Cynosure laser which we offer at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates. Laser treatments can help diminish discoloration and can smooth the scar as well. Also, surgical scar revision may be the best approach. Talk with your doctor and I wish you good luck!

Take care,

I had a c-section 3 years ago when I had my son. My doctor did a decent job sewing me up, my scar is 3 inches and it healed nice so it’s a thin white line. My problem is not with the actual scar it is with the indent it makes. I weigh about 120-125 lbs and I’m 5’2″, I’m not overweight but I do need to tone up. I was hoping you could let me know what types of procedures there are out there to fix the indent? And what is going to give me the best results?

Thanks
