Average Cost of Revision Tummy Tuck?

My scar is too high. Its like a frown as opposed to a smile! You can see it through clothes (fat above scar) I can't wear bikinis. You can see it above my jeans, and underwear! Should I pay for the revision? How much is the average? Not too sure I am happy with my belly button scar, too.

Tummy Tuck Revision Cost

This should have been discussed with your surgeon before surgery.  There is a possibility that the scar can be lowered, if there is sufficient skin laxity.  I sometimes perform minor revisions in the office under local anesthesia at little or no cost.

Cost of revision tummy tuck

HThe cost really depends on what needs to be done. A mini tummy tuck or scar revision can be performed if you have sufficient laxity below your umbilicus. This can be relatively inexpensive.
