My tummy tuck scar is horrible and my abdomen looks to be crooked. Can this be improved with another tummy tuck? Do I just need scar revision?
Answer: Scar asymmetry If the scar is the only thing bothering you, it can be fixed, but it will require advancing the skin, so it's more than just a scar revision. You can also be more sculpted with liposuction as well to enhance your result.

Answer: Uneven scars there are a lot of different forces that are in plain when you start to close a tummy tuck. As plastic surgeons, we always strive to ensure the most favorable scar placement occasionally some unevenness can manifest itself after surgery surgery. Generally, you do not need to perform another tummy tub. I would recommend recommend a combination of liposuction with scar vision. The liposuction will improve what appears to be some difference in the fat about your incision versus the incision and it also will give the skin mobility to be able to close the incision with less tension which will hopefully lead to better scarring.

Answer: Scar I think a scar revision or a partial tuck on that side can be done to help improve the appearance. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns and options.

Answer: Abdominal Scar If the waviness of the scar itself is the most bothersome to you, a simple scar revision may be the only thing needed. I recommend seeing your surgeon or another board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all of your concerns to ensure that you are getting the final result you desire. Good luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck results From the posted photo it appears a revision would improve your result. A scar revision can be performed to improve the shape and appearance of the scar. Liposuction can help to further sculpt your curves. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.
