Tummy Tuck Scar is High and Pulls Pubic Line Higher - Why?

November 3, 2010
Asked By:mommywith3 in Billings, MT

I had a tummy tuck 9 months ago.The doctor marked underneath bikini bottoms I had brought with me.I didn't have that much skin to remove, but he said a full tummy tuck was necessary to remove all of the looseness (3 children) My scar however is very high. It ends up showing in any jeans I wear, and you can forget about that bikini as it's at least 2 inches 2 high to wear that.I can deal with the scar but not the fact that it pulled my pubic hair up and the hair is also visible with pants on. WHY
