When Fazio does a redo, does he always cut from belly button down, or would he be will to go into bikini line incision that was already there?

One of his nurses might be able to answer this. I'm assuming he's not re-doing his own work as AFAIK he always does the surgery belly button down, that's how he did mine. I guess it also depends on what the "redo" entails. I mean, once you've already had your colon out you can't re-remove it so I'm guessing he's going to re-construct the pouch and stuff? I doubt he could do that via a small, bikini line scar like that from a c-section or something.

I had a redo by Fazio and I seem to recall him saying that he always goes bellybutton-down. He was very adamant about having as much room as possible to really "see" what he was working with.
Good luck to you!

Ya I had a redo also and I actually had a bigger incision in the redo then I did in the first surgeries. Just look at it this way you want it to be right so he needs to be able to see what he's doing.
