Tummy Tuck scar can be lowered to pubic area

Lane Smith, MD answers: Can tummy tuck scar be lowered to the pubic area?

I had a full tummy tuck five years ago. I would like my scar to be lowered well into my pubic area (at least two inches lower) I have extra skin now from two pregnancies after the surgery. Would this be possible? Will the belly button be re-done? Would it be considered a scar revision or a tummy tuck redo? Thank you!

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.
