Tummy Tuck surgery Scar Size?
I do not have a lot of excess skin and fat around my abdomen, but enough that I think I may need a tummy tuck or liposuction. How big of a scar will I have from a tummy tuck surgery?
Abdominoplasty scars
Mini abdominoplasty scars can be slightly longer than c-section scars. Full abdominoplasties that include tightening of the rectus muscles will be slightly longer and include a scar around your umbilicus. One of the scar areas of concern for full abdominoplasty involves the belly button which can look strange post-operatively. In our San Francisco area practice we've developed techniques to minimize the appearance of scars and create fantastic looking belly buttons after tummy tucks. Ask to see pre and post-op photos and be sure to only deal with board certified plastic surgeons. I hope this helps.
