Bikini tummy tuck can hide your scars beneath the bikini line

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Will I have visible scars from a tummy tuck?

I imagine that you have them hidden below your underpants but is this true? can i wear a bikini after tummy tuck?

If you only have loose skin below your belly button, then a mini tummy tuck called the bikini tummy tuck can be done which places the incision beneath your bikini line. I actually have patients bring the bikini or underwear to the OR so my incision can be planned in the appropriate place.

If you have loose skin in the upper and lower abdomen and need a full abdominoplasty your lower incision will be larger and there will be a visible incision around your belly button.
