Follow Up to Tummy Tuck Scar Has Pulled Pubic Hair 1" Below Belly Button, Normal? (photo)

Hi I didnt post picture in my first post, here is the new post with pictures Thanks for all the answers so far, to answer your questions, I got a mini tuck as you would call it because my belly button was not moved, however my scar line as youlll see is very long, hip to hip. For the doctor that suggested laser hair removal, that is what I did below my scar cause like I said, right below my scar my pubic hair was there and it got pulled up to an inch below naval. is it standard or am i right?

Laser hair removal after a tummy tuck
