Can tummy tuck scar be lowered to the pubic area?

As your photo presents, and two pregnancies later, it appears that the scar could be lowered.  The magnitude of the surgery maybe very similar to the first.  The abdominal skin flap would be raised and probably muscle tightening.  If your children are still in diapers and require lifting you may... more

If there is enough laxity ,the scar could be lowered. The mismatch between the tissues will also need to be addressed.from the picture ,it looks like there is enough tissues to dissect. Hope that helps!

Hi, your scar should be able to be lowered.  Whether or not you'll require another incision around the umbilicus really depends on the laxity of your skin, and I usually advise patients that this is something that would need to be determined at the time of surgery.  This would be considered an... more

From your photo the one obvious area for improvement is the mismatch of amount of fatty tissue above vs below your scar. This can happen with weight gain and pregnancies that you had. Are you able to lose some weight before having further surgery? The possibility of lowering your scar depends on the looseness... more

 Lowering an abdominoplasty scar can be difficult but I do feel some improvement can be achieved with a revision.  I can't tell whether you have had a full abdominoplasty with a scar around the belly button as this may make a difference.

Your existing abdominoplasty scar can  be lowered even if you have a scar around your 'belly button'.

You look to be a great candidate for a revision. Would likely need a full abdominoplasty and liposuction of the hips to get the best result. I would also expect a vertical component to the scar. Plan to go on several consults if you do not get consistent answers. Good luck!

Yes,  you should be able to have the scar lowered  and maybe combine that with a little bit of abdominal liposuction to reduce the lower abdominal fullness. Good luck to you.

 You look like you could use a revision of your tummy tuck and might be able to get the scar down but maybe not 2 inches.  Watch you for expectation mismatching in your "questforperfection."
