Hello! I had a mommy make over 2.5 years ago and unfortunately my tummy scar is too high and goes vertically about an inch. Need more lipo in stomach area as well. Right flank was over lipoed so I have a clear line across my back. This result has left me super devastated.

I have a medical clearance so where can I get fixed?
