Will Pubic Hair Grow Back After Tummy Tuck?

angiestarApr 11, 2011
Prior to my tummy tuck some of my pubic hair had fallen out and did not grow. I assume this was due to the overhang of excess skin which rubbed on my pubic bone. Will it grow again? Is there anything I can do to encourage it to grow? I am 56 years old.
