Tummy Tuck scar could be lowered

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD 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!

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!
