Scar Too High on Hips After Tummy Tuck

May 31, 2012
Asked By:hopeful lilly in Houston, TX

I am only three weeks out from a tummy tuck but have already been told I will need a scar revision to get the results I want. My incision line is low in front but comes up higher than my belly button on the sides. I would like it under a bathing suit which would been it would need to come down several inches. Also, my PS told be that he thinks the scar on my BB will move inside once more swelling goes down, but if not I would like to fix that as well. Is a revision as invasive as the TT?
