Will Distance Change Between Belly Button and Scar? (photo)

   The result is improved, and there is only so much compromise that can be made in these situations.  The distance between the belly button and the scar rarely increases in these situations, because the pubic skin tends to have more laxity in general after the tummy tuck.

Thanks for your question and photos. Lowering the scar is sometimes tricky. It looks like you have a great result. Though your measurements may not reflect the numbers you were anticipating, the scar is in a better position. Hang in there and don't obsess about the numbers. You have a great result.

Thanks for your question.  It looks as if the surgeon has excised tissue from above your previous scar to the area marked in the original photo.  By doing that they were trying to move the scar down towards the genital area.  It really wasn't going to ever lengthen the distance from the scar to the belly button.  There really isn't a way to lengthen that second distance.
