Hey Doctors! I had an INCREDIBLE experience with my doctor & love my results for the most part. My only concern is that on the side my scar is higher, it looks like I have either excess skin above my scar, my hip bone, or possibly fat? My surgeon is very willing and happy to do a revision, I'm just not sure if it'll help with my problem. Do you think that's my hip sticking out, excess skin, or fat? Do you think a scar revision will help this? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your question. During an abdominoplasty many sutures are placed. Depending on the type that is used, some will dissolve in 6 weeks, some in 6 months. It is not uncommon for some of the sutures to push themselves out of the incision line. Please do not try and take these out at...
I would suggest trying liposuction with Renuvion to your upper abdomen. During the tuck, liposuction cannot be done in the area of the tuck for safety to your skin.
