Can my tummy tuck scar lowered? (Photo)

November 22, 2017
Asked By:Zara123 in London, GB

My surgeon plans on doing some lipo above my scar and revising the vertical scar as there is some loose skin above the vertical scar in January when I’ll be 6 mths post op. However he is adamant the long horizontal scar cannot be lowered, even if I wait till 1 year post op. Will Lipo result in some loose skin? I would like the scar lowered by 1 inch, is it really impossible to achieve this?
