What's the best way to remove the flap of skin over my hysterectomy incision? (photo)

Asked By:Posthysthangover in Corvallis, OR

I had a total open hysterectomy on 1/29/14. I had a c-section 21 years ago with no "apron" afterwards. But now I have an inch of skin that hasn't changed since the hysterectomy. It protrudes. I'm 5'3", 125lbs, 53 yrs old and in good shape. Still not much feeling in my lower abs. Not doing sit-ups yet. Should I wait longer? Mini TT? Full TT? Liposuction ?
