Yes & no. How long ago the surgery was is irrelevant - what you need to focus on is your body & whether or not the scar is COMPLETELY healed. You want the skin to heal first. Do not put makeup over or around the scar if it is not healed, puffy, sore, etc.

If you have stitches, you should wait two or three days after they're removed. You do not want to wear makeup over an unhealed scar because you want to prevent any makeup from getting into stitch depressions, causing self-tattooing.

Is it possible to get stomach surgery and not get a scar?

It depends on what you need the surgery for.There is such a thing as keyhole surgery. This is where surgeons make an incision small enough for a tiny camera and relevant operating instruments to enter the body. The scar is normally too small to notice. However some types of surgery will require a larger incision. Have a talk with your doctor about the options.
