Bad Scaring from Tummy Tuck
AcneHair Transplant, Replacement, Loss

I'm stuck with this awful scar from my previous tummy tuck. The doctor who did it is now long gone because of botching many surgeries. He used staples and sutures, it was a mess. So I'm stuck with this. I just want to be able to have a nice low, straight, and skinny scar. Is this possible. Is a revision possible?

Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done NOW. You need to wait some time for the skin to loosen before you can have a revision.
One can think of skin stretching procedures (tissue (more)

my stitches ripped and was instructed to take baths in bleach and ended up with pulmonary embolisms, now my scar tissue under my huge scar is so bad it pushes on my bladder and I have to receive bladder nerve blocks from a urologist regularly. I'm hoping on this site I can find some insight on a surgeon who can help me.
