Can DIEP flap scar be revised to sit lower? (photo)

Asked By:Lianna254 in Dallas, Texas

I had my DIEP flap reconstruction done in three phases. My main concern is that my abdominal scar sits quite high above my waistline, which makes me very self-conscious. I’m wondering if there’s an option to revise the scar and lower it closer to where a typical tummy tuck scar would be?
