default
Posted on Sat, 13 Sep 2014
Question: Why is there no longer any fat under my hysterectomy scar. Initially there was and my belly was smooth. Now there is an indentation above my pubic area and below my belly. This occurs if I am thin or not. It is embarrassing as I attempt to wear clothes or bathing suits its shows. Can this be fixed?
