I had my tummy tuck last year. Went to my PCP he told me I have a Keloid.  To see my surgeon. Has anyone else had this and if so how do they fix it. I all ready had shots in that area which helped but now when I move it pulls and burns so bad. Thanks for any info.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Mine was revised seven weeks ago (almost a year ago from having had the TT) when I had my Breast Lift.
I scar "ugly" wide and raised.

 How do they revise it? Is it surgery again or just in the office?

Mine was done during the surgery for Breast lift but I think it could be done with a local anesthetic. Ask your PS.

 My surgeon for wl did my TT. He did a great job but only will do them on his people. After they have lost weight.

I too form keloids when I scar.  My PS knew that and could see it from my other surgical scars.  So he had me put paper tape over my scars for 6 months.  That made a hugh difference.  My TT incision looks good .  My Belly button is thicker . is just the way some bodies heal.  I believe the only thing you could do about it is get it surgically fixed...but mine is no where bad enough to consider that.  I am just much happier with a flat tummy!
