This is my second full TT (first left way too much skin). Dr said she pulled as tight as she could and she was not able to remove my old belly button scar. Now a huge crease has formed from my belly button to the incision. My Dr says she can fix this once I've healed by using a cannula.

She did very aggressive liposuction before the TT.
