Description

Scar irregularities and asymmetry can develop over time after a prior abdominoplasty performed elsewhere. This 57-year-old returned with residual excess abdominal skin, mild fat, and an irregular, asymmetric scar following prior surgery at another practice. Because her concerns were localized rather than the extensive laxity a first-time tummy tuck addresses, a mini tummy tuck with scar revision was performed to resect the excess tissue and correct the scar’s contour. She returned to her normal activity in 3-4 weeks without complications.
