Fort Myers Tummy Tuck doctors

I find most patients who are interested in a tummy tuck need a full tummy tuck rather than a mini.  Most patients have some laxity of the skin above the belly button, which you have.  The other reason is laxity of the muscle layer which is tightened as part of the procedure. There are no nonsurgical procedures which would give you any benefit at all.

Consult with a couple of plastic surgeons in your area and choose the one with whom you are most comfortable. Thank you for your question.

Part of the consequence of tightening the skin is tightening the skin.  If you look at photos before and after a tummy tuck you will notice that scars and moles are in a different location after the procedure.  The further the scar or mole is from the lower abdominal scar the less movement there will be.

It may or may not get better after some times passes.  Thank you for your question.

I agree with you in that your tummy tuck scar does look rather high, even though you have a very nice tummy tuck result overall.  The best way to lower your abdominal scar is to wait at least six months to one year after your initial tummy tuck, then have a revisionary surgery to excise a couple centimeters of skin from below your lower abdominal scar.  This will not only lower the tummy tuck scar that you currently have, but it will also raise and slightly flatten your mons as well.  Best of luck.
