Can tummy tuck scar be lowered to the pubic area?
I had a full tummy tuck five years ago. I would like my scar to be lowered well into my pubic area (at least two inches lower) I have extra skin now from two pregnancies after the surgery. Would this be possible? Will the belly button be re-done? Would it be considered a scar revision or a tummy tuck redo? Thank you! Asked by questforperfection on RealSelf.com A: Re-doing your tummy tuck From your photo, it does appear that you have some addtional laxity to your abdominal wall skin. This can be improved, but will require re-opening all of your incisions. Since you have had two pregnancies since your original tummy tuck, most likely the muscles will also require re-tightening. Your incision can be lowered into the pubic area, but you will almost certainly also need to have an additional incision in the midline to relocate the belly button to the correct position.
