Tummy tuck: Can this crooked scar line be fixed? (Photo)

Thanks for your question.  It sounds like you are happy overall but are wondering if further improvement in scar symmetry can be achieved.  If you wait 6-12 months before considering a touch-up, you will have a better sense of the final result.  If you are still dissatisfied it would be reasonable to discuss this with your surgeon.

Hello,It is very early and your scar will fade. If hair line is an issue, you may benefit from laser hair removal. If after a year you have enough laxity in your skin, a scar revision can be contemplated.  Right now, try to focus on the positive. Best of luck!

Definitely bring up your concerns with your surgeon at your next post op appointment. However, also keep in mind that you are still swollen and it is quite common to be more swollen on one side than the other. Which could be affecting the look of your scar line. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you for your question about the shape of your tummy tuck scar performed by your doctor.  It is fairly straightforward to improve the symmetry of a tummy tuck scar.  You will likely need to wait a number of months for the skin to relax a bit.  The doctor can likely lower the higher side by removing some skin from beneath the higher side.  I would not hesitate to discuss this with your doctor.  Your results overall appear very nice!Best wishes!

Correcting scar line position is the most common complication following tummy tuck surgery. This can be done in the office. Please see examples below and make a consultation.

Thank you for the photo and the question and I would not be afraid to bring it up with your surgeon.  He will not be offended particularly as you like the overall result.Dr. corbin
