Please clarify: If you mean that the bulk of the tumor caused the surrounding skin to stretch, the skin excess should be relatively easy to remove to improve the contour of the leg. Please see a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery to evaluate the options for your particular situation. Good luck!

Discuss with MD: I would discuss this with your surgeon to make sure it is not a recurrence. If it is a "dog ear", it may require scar revision.
