Lower body lift

It is good that you are 5 years after the surgery. The tissue are relaxed now. May be you have a chance to restore the pubic area and fix the pubis in amore relaxed position, then advance the abdominal skin without pulling on the pubis.

Lower body lift too tight

Sorry to hear you're having problems. WIthout photos it's very hard to answer your question. I would recommend you discuss this with your surgeon. If he or she won't help, then consider a second opinion. Be sure it's a surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has experience with lower body lifts. It seems to me that after 5 years, the tissues would have softened and the scar could be moved downward. Hope it goes well. more
