Can permanent fillers be used on a stomach scar?
I have a scar under my belly button from a tubal ligation. I'm not sure why he cut me there. It healed very well, but if I gain just a little weight, It looks like I have two belly buttons. I don't like wearing bikinis and am self conscious around my fiance. Can dermal fillers be used on a stomach scar? What other alternatives do I have?

You could try Sculptra to rebuild collagen under the scar. Remember it takes several treatments and the scar will improve over several months. You actually rebuild your own collagen and the results last years.

Sure. Dermal fillers can help, but only temporarily.

Yes, dermal fillers can help with the appearance of your scar. Another option is fat transplantation.
