Q: Will I have visible scars from a tummy tuck? asked by Anonymous
A:
For most patients, the scar from a tummy tuck can be placed low enough that the scar can be hidden in underwear and bathing suits. You might need to choose the right garments to accomplish this but it can be done. Once in a while, there isn't enough extra skin to make the scar as low and the scar winds up a little higher. Make sure to ask your doctor where they would think you are on this scale.
