Asked By:MaryRN in Coshocton,Ohio

I would like to know if anyone ever had abdominal skin reduction with and up and down incision using () from 1 side of the abdomen to the other side of the abdomen with the skin removed between them and the abdominal muscle repaired? I want to have the procedure done but I do not like the long scar across the lower abdomen.
