Yes, you will have a scar for the tummy tuck. The full tummy tuck scar goes across the abdomen to remove all extra and loose skin. In my practice I have clients come the day before surgery and bring low underwear and or swimsuit can I can make sure the scar is placed where we both agree on and will cover them after surgery, This way we have no surprises because it takes several months for this scar the fade. I am sensitive the placement and want to make sure the client is happy with both the results and the incision placement. In the past two years this procedure has become very popular with mothers who have finished having children and want to improve their looks and be able to return to the tummy they had prior to children. Most often the improvement in the tummy area is worth the scar and clients are happy with the tight results.
