I am 5.5 years postop TT. Had a sera removed from above belly button 1 year after my procedure. All was well. I gained 40 lbs with work from home during COVID, Ive lost of that again. But now my belly skin looks mottled. I think its getting worse. A strange purple blotcjy purple with veining on one side.

Hello , Around 4-5 y ago I had a tummy tuck . The scar is too high I cant cover with any type of underwear , unless its granny underwear this bothers me a lot but i started to realised my private area seems to be also very high too ? I not sure what to do . Re-do the scar in another shape can be option in my case ? In order to lower my intimate area to right position? I also dont really like my bellybutton but I dont mind that much to me is also a bit high maybe due to scar .
I understood the first two years were going to be all about healing, it's a big surgery. But five years out, I have pain, swelling, and a tightness any time I do anything that involves using my core. (I moved boxes of paper yesterday). I immediately felt the hot, tight, stretching pain in my abdomen. What can I do to help this? Does massage help? I'm apprehensive about more surgery. This keeps me from meaningful physical activity. Pain scale is 4-7.
I had an abdominoplasty in 2018. I have no sensation in the area closest to my navel and still get an awful unscratchable itch inside my belly button. It occurs less often now, but it's awful. I've taken to using my dog's shock training collar to scratch that area. It happens when I've consumed certain food coloring.. Which makes no sense. Can an allergy trigger neuropathy? Also, I know a few patients of this doc who also have no sensation. Can it be technique?
I had abdominal plasty done in March 2018, I did tell my surgeon after coming to see him to let him know about the spasms in my stomach. He told me overtime that would go away well here it is March 2023 and I still have muscle spasms they havent gone away and they get worse on the left and right. Nothing has been addressed I feel Ive been put out to pasture if you call it because there is really no answer to my question prove me wrong. Why is this still occurring?
