Is it possible to have reconstructive surgery on a temporary ileostomy scar?

Answer:
I'm not a plastic surgeon, but I believe that it could be a possibility...Has the ileostomy closed already, or did it get closed surgically? Different people scar differently, based on many factors, age and race being a couple. I would recommend giving the scar time to heal, then getting a referral to a plastic surgeon who could give you some good advice regarding scar reduction surgery.

Probably. If the scar is well healed, talk to a plastic surgeon.It isn't possible to get rid of the scar completely, of course, but if it is large and unsightly, a plastic surgeon may be able to make it look a little better.If you form keloids, though, it might not be a good idea to mess with it.Hope that helps.
