Scar Under Belly Button After Tummy Tuck

March 31, 2009
Asked By:bluebird2 in New York

Recently, I had a Tummy Tuck with inguinal hernia repair about 8 weeks ago. My plastic surgeon stated I could have a mini Tummy Tuck. Turns out I had severe Diastasis Recti, so my tummy tuck became standard? I was surprised to see the 2 inch scar below my belly button after surgery, and was told that the skin had changed color from being too tight, so this scar was necessary. I am not pleased with the look of either this scar or my belly button and I also still see abdominal profile as bulging as before. What happened?
