TT Scar Above Pant Waistline - Tampa, FL

I am with you :(. Mine looks exactly like this. I am only 3 weeks post op and very upset and my belly button is unnatural looking as well. I guess we are that statistic. I go tomorrow to see my surgeon and I am going to demand he fix me. I am 23 years old and there is no reason I should look like this. Mine looks worse in the center where my upside down V goes I may have worse problems. I hope that we can be fixed. Your probably upset about yours as I am mine. All my money went into it and now I am left I cannot wear 50% of my clothing as the scar is on my waistline and comes out. I cannot believe people do this to others. Good luck and I hope the issue can be fixed for you.

Hey, I really am sorry to hear someone else is in the same situation. I didn't go back to my surgeon and ask b/c I was of the position that he should have known better the first time and I never want him to touch my body again! I don't trust him. This is completely unacceptable. It does impact me...I think about it literally everyday at least 5 times. I have been a size 0/2 my whole life but had twins and literally had this "pouch" of skin that I wanted to corrected and my goal was to get back into a bikini....well I went from tankini (after kids) to now a one piece. I hate the way I look and I get sad. I went to two other plastic surgeons since then and they both agreed this was not appropriate and the issue is my skin is so tight. I don't have that extra skin to get the scar down. Also, they both told me that I had to heal a year b/4 they would fix so...you might have to wait. Best of luck to you -- I am sure we will resolve this...either thru surgery or internally.

it seems kind of obvious to me that your scar is so high because of your tattoo. did you watch while the Dr did diagram on your belly of where he'd be cutting you? did you tell him that you wanted it really low? also, you have to have more time for the scar to fade, i had a crash c-section and it was about a year before i didn't notice that scar. also, you always have the option of getting a tattoo over the scar. don't hide it, change it into something you like. but again, wait a while for it to finish healing.

Oh my! How similar to my own story! My belly button is similar to yours, maybe a little worse. Its so big with a big flap of skin at the top. He tried to correct the navel after complaining so much but all he did was stitch the bottom of it closer together! It looks fake and stupid! I think I'll have to get a tattoo around it... I also had a huge tattoo on me before my tt but he cut it all off, leaving me with barely any skin to pull and then I ended up with an open wound. My scar is horrible. I am going in for surgery to have that corrected and to have the scar moved down. Hopefully they will be able to find some skin to pull down. My doctor's before and after pics must be somebody else's!
