After 18 months of having a full TT, i will be going for a scar and TT revision next Wednesday. Now, i'm not sure whether will be worth going thru the whole thing again. I feel that i still have some loose skin and that the position of the scar can improve. My surgeon, is telling me that he will do the revision, however, within a few month my skin will be loose again due to poor elasticity. is that true? any thought?

Hi Marina,

I talked to my PS today regarding my high scar. He said that if he made it any lower it wouldn't close. He promised me that it would be flat and it would has visible as my implant scars from 20 years ago around my areola. the scars he is referring too are almost impossible to see. I am 16 days post op and going through the same thing. It makes me sad to hear you feeling like this. Ya know, give it time. If it's not of enough skin then its not enough skin. How would you revise that if there is nothing to pull or remove anymore? How tall are you? I'm 5 two and very short waisted. I had a 4 to 6 inch seperation in my abdominal muscle and that was huge! So if you had something like this maybe what you see on the outside is because of the healing on the inside and you PS wants to make you feel he will take care of you with a revision because its better then having you feel doomed? Hey, If my huge ridge goes a way and my scar is flat as a pancake I'll take it. I don't care where it is. That how terrified I am I will always have a ridge that prevents me form wearing a dress that fits to the body, workout pants..or alot of other things because you can see the ridge. There is a lot of support here. I have a blog too but I dont see it. It was here for a bit prior to the last few newest blogs then it vanished. :-( Much good thoughts to you.

thank you.. I know that the scar might fade with time. My issue and the reason for going for a revision is the loss skin underneath the scar.. (look at the pic) ugly! But I am little nervous about doing it again. Not sure is worth the risk.. :(. Do you have pics? before & after?
Please post.
Thanks for the kind words.

After a full abdominoplasty with muscle repair a 2 weeks off is good 3-4 weeks before any heavy activity
