I am wondering if I could possibly get a horizontal full tummy tuck scar below my current c-section scar without having to get a vertical scar. If the vertical scar has to be present, how long would it usually be? Also, I am usure if I need to get lipo on the sides and/or back to get a better results.
The lowest scars are often mini -tummy tuck scars. If your abdominal tissue is not that loose, you could end up with a higher scar (but without a vertical component). Your surgeon should discuss, and draw on you, the location of a mini-tummy tuck scar with extensive lipo of the abdomen vs. a full tummy tuck.
is it a way to improve a tummy tuck? confused!
Areverse tummy tuck is a fairly rare procedure. If a patient has a lot of loose skin above their umbilicus that a traditional tummy has failed to removed then a reverse procedure can work very smartly for them.
This involves an incision underneath the breast to pull the skin upwards and remove extra tissue.
I imagine that you can have tummy tuck scars hidden below your underpants but is this true? can i wear a bikini 1 year after tummy tuck?
Unfortunately with a tummy tuck comes a scar.
A mini-tuck essentially just means a shorter scar although it can often be placed a little lower than a typical tummy tuck scar.
I have been using barbed quill sutures recently for tummy tucks and my scars are getting narrower. But stil there isn't a way to avoid a scar when skin is being surgically removed.
