Dear Emmie Pena, thank you for sharing your question. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Lipoin your flanks + Scar revision. I'm sure those procedures will give you an amazing result! Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia

Hi there and Happy New Year! It happens to most patients but there is a way to revise the scar under local anaesthesia . Perhaps you could have a resolution to loose a few pounds and have fat freezing to the sides of your tummy where the scar ends, to sculpt the waist. Beautiful tattoo by the way! All the bst with your journey

From your photo it appears you would benefit from a scar revision and addressing the excess skin at the hip area.  Liposuction can be performed to better sculpt your results.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

The only thing wrong with your result is that the scar has widened. This is not uncommon and is simple to revise.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Emmie Pena,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
