Lower tummy tuck scar

Scar revision

It is best to examine you in person and in the sitting position to see how much skin laxity you have in the lower abdomen. Nonetheless, after 1 year there should be enough laxity to improve the scar position. Also the scar can be improved by improving its symmetry. This can be performed with the breast revision. (John Michael Thomassen, MD, Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgeon)

Do I have enough skin to lower my scar? Would it be worth it?

Based only of the few posted photos I DO NOT think you could lower your TT scar. You might wish to consider as decorative tattoo.

But ONLY IN PERSON examination allows a definitive response. (Darryl J. Blinski, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

Scar of abdomen

It might be possible to get the central scar down if you have some laxity. I cant tell how far lateral the scar goes. If it goes up on your hip then you are going to have to adjust the style of clothing, bathing suit that you wear. (Jonathan Saunders, MD, Newark Plastic Surgeon)

You appear to have taken a good result and made it a great result by working out and staying fit. The question you ask about moving your scar and whether it is worth it is very difficult to answer, especially without examining you.

In general, I think it is unlikely that the scar can be lowered much from its current location so I would lean toward saying that it is probably not worth it. I agree that you should seek several consultations to determine the feasibility of revisionary surgery. (Michael S. Hopkins, MD, Albuquerque Plastic Surgeon)

TT revision and breast revision

I would love to make some recommendations but without out an examination it would be unfair to you so go on some consults locally and get second opinions. (Frederic H. Corbin, MD, Brea Plastic Surgeon)

TT scar revision is something that needs to be addressed in a personal consultation to be able to feel your skin elasticity and what could really be achieved. It can always be lowered a little bit, but that could cost you not having a perfectly round belly button because of the skin traction underneath it.

There is when your second question would enter: “Would it be worth it?”. That is something only after a physical evaluation a surgeon would be able to answer you.Again, through photos it’s impossible someone to give you an objective answer. (Luis A. Fernandez Goico, MD, Dominican Republic Plastic Surgeon)
