I had a full TT 4months ago, as I'm healing the center of my scar is rising and indenting. I had a c-section type scar there previously from a ovarian cyst removal years ago. My doctor said the scar would be gone after the TT. When I showed her the indentation she said it was from my old scar and scar tissue and she is going to revise that area of the scar by stitching lower. If My skin from my TT was pulled lower than my original scar why is this an issue? Why extra skin and wrinkles again too

Can come from excess skin and jeans that too tight as well... liposuction is designed to provide a smoother contour when undressed. And flanks are the area between the spine and the hip bone where the waist line is located. If you were charged for flanks, you should have a small scar...
