Will I need a tummy tuck revision or scar revision for this incision? (Photos)

January 28, 2023
Asked By:jdroberti in Grand Junction, CO

Original full tummy tuck done sept’22. The incision ended up with necrosis about 12 days after the procedure (started with fluid build up under the skin). The area is completely closed now. I feel it’s very large scar and very unflattering. I know I need to wait a least 9 months. But will I need a TT revision or will scar revision do? And for the placement of the scar in my hip/buttocks, it is very low can it be raised up?
