I have a tummy tuck over a year ago and I’m pretty happy with the results. Other than I feel like I still have fat sides. I went to three different consultations and they all said no liposuction with procedure was needed. May because the area that bothers me is more hip but I’m trying to see what can I do to improve it and what also would be an option for the scar. It’s too low on hips and shows when wearing any kind of clothing cut

Answer: Scar & Hip Area Improvement Santana 8801. Thank you for your pictures. It is debatable, whether or not suction would help your sides. I have Mike suction patients that are thin. We've had tummy tucks and remove more fat than expected. It's all is based on your examination. Pertaining to your scar, yes it's low and there are not too many things that can be done about it. I certainly would not try to have anybody relocate the scar. Your best options may be silicone bandages/strips and time. Respectfully, ESJ, #TruthAndTransformation

Answer: "Enhancing Hip Scar Appearance: Options After Tummy Tuck" Thank you for your question. After a tummy tuck, it’s common to have one or more scars. Regarding your question about how to improve the appearance of the hip scar, scar revision and/or lumecca laser could be good options. Scar revision can improve the scar appearance by making it blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin in terms of color and texture. It has several techniques such as topical treatments, injectables, skin resurfacing techniques, or surgery. Lumecca laser is a powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment used for skin rejuvenation. It delivers light energy that penetrates all layers of the skin without harming the surface. Many people notice improved skin appearance after one session, and optimal results can be achieved with 2-3 treatments. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine the best scar revision approach.
