More then likely. It will fade though.

Probably...In time it will fade somewhat

scars can stay someones whole life but many scars fade away over time.. it depends on the serverity of the scar

Yes, but there is a product called "mederma". it helps to soften the area and makes the scar less notable. You can find it at any drug store. It works, I've used it and am happy with the results.

Dear KL,
You don't say what your ethnic background is. In general, scare tissue fades overtime. Certain ethnic backgrounds develop keloids when cut.
Do you model or have an occupation that leaves your abdomen exposed? If you are very subconscious about it, try make up. Yes, men do wear makeup, who are not homosexuals.
The main thing is, "Love the skin you're in!"
The Best of Luck to you.
