Can scar tissue from prior liposuction procedures be removed somehow via a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Asked By:si3223 in Philadelphia, PA

I had a botched lipo procedure 10 yrs ago which has left me with severe irregularites. I had 2 subsequent revision lipo procedures to try to get improvement. I'm now 2 mos. post op from last procedure which has left me with worse results because of scar tissue. Feels so tight and hurts terribly when I stretch. I would like to know if I can get the scar tissue removed somehow via a tummy tuck by lifting the skin away from all of the adhesions and lay it back down so that it appears more smooth.
