Sign of a past surgery (4)

I believe the answer is:

scar

(Other definitions for scar that I've seen before include "Leave wound mark" , "Mark left by old wound" , "Limestone cliff or outcrop" , "Sign of old injury" , "Effect of unpleasant experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
