It just seems like it has risen about an inch. My pubic hairline starts right at my incision. Will it get back to where it originally was with time? Also, is my belly button supposed to look like this? I'm 4 weeks post op.

Answer: Pubic hairline change after tummy tuck. The pull on the skin from a tummy tuck is in two directions. The biggest change is above, where the skin is pulled down. There is also an upward pull on the lower skin and this will result in an elevation of the mons pubis and pubic hairline. This is usually a good thing from a cosmetic point of view but the higher hairline is an issue for some patients. Laser hair removal is a permanent solution for this.
