Is it possible to lower my TT scar? (Photo)

Energetic147412Feb 17, 2022
Is it possible to lower my scar? My normal underwear don't even cover it, everything has to be high waisted for it to not show. I wore my bikini bottoms for him to mark on the day of the surgery, but my scar came out much higher. When I asked him about it, he said my skin was thin, but I'm not sure why that would make it go so high when I had tons of extra loose skin. It's very upsetting and I'm really depressed over it. It also looks like my mons was lifted too high, so it just looks odd now.

It's difficult to tell from the limited photo but it does appear you have excess skin. An examination is needed to determine if further skin removal in the form of a tummy tuck revision is indicated or if liposuction would be adequate to address your concerns.
