Bulge in my left side. better front photos.5 weeks PO TT. I had 3 pregnancies, 5.4/128 pounds, in shape, not too extra skin but a lot of horrible stretch marks.

William T. Stoeckel, MD · Answer

The puckering and wrinkling of the skin will improve significantly with time. The asymmetry of the actual scar line is probably a result of some inaccurate pre-operative markings by your surgeon. Once you have healed completely (3-4 months), you can improve the positioning of the scar by removing some additional tissue from below the scar on the left side.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

your incision will change over the next several months.  It would be reasonable to revise at a later date.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

poorly thought out incision placement and bunching is node in the posted photos. Revision possible but over the internet can not tell.///

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Once the incision line and skin has relaxed after six months from surgery, the higher scar line can be lower by removing some additional skin below it.
