When you have a Tummy tuck, do they pull the bottom pubic area up to the top?

You should be commended on educating yourself before your plastic surgery procedure, specifically abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. During an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, an incision is made in the lower abdomen. Tissue dissection is carried upwards to the bellybutton or umbilicus. Further tissue dissection is carried up to the sternum and rib cage. Then, the rectus abdominus or six pack muscle is tightened. By doing these maneuvers, the abdominal skin is then able to be pulled down. During an... more

Improving the Front of the Thighs and Pubic Area Without Pulling It Up Too Far

When you do a tummy tuck, you don't want the pubic area and scar line pulled up, you want it stay low under the bikini/underwear line. How to do this? First pull the pubic area and the front of the thighs up when the pre-operative marking is done. Make sure this line is covered by the bikini preferably by having the bikini underwear in place when the marking is done. Bend the front of the thigh to ensure that the line falls in the thigh crease which is where the bikini... more

Pubic hair line should not be higher after tummy tuck.

Hi. If you see that, it is a technical error. Lifting the mons itself can be rejuvenating, but the hairline should not go up.

Distortion of pubis with tummy tuck

Tummy tuck is a powerful operation that can also modify the pubic area. In some cases this is desired, and others it isn't. If this is a concern to you, address it with your plastic surgeon before surgery. sek

Tummy tuck

The pubic hairline should remain at the same level with the tummy tuck. The tension should be directed at the deep and stonger layer

Pubic tightening, lift and tummy tuck

A tummy tuck is done by making an incision of the lower abdominal area / upper pubic area. If done correctly, the loose abdominal skin is pulled down and removed. The remaining abdominal skin is then stitched back to above the pubic area. The result is a very low, skinny scar that can we well hidden when wearing even a small bathing suit. The pubic area should be not affected unless the patient needs and wants a pubic lift or monplasty, which will lift the pubic area. We frequently perform... more

Pubic hair line and tummy tucks.

The incision line for a tummy tuck is made intentionally low to avoid being seen in a bikini. When the tummy tuck is closed, in most cases the goal is not to "pull" the pubic skin upwards, but to pull the abdominal tissue downwards. The strength sutures which hold the repair are made in a very strong fibrous layer underneath the skin. This takes the tension off of the skin and leads to less distortion of the position of the scar. Regardless, it is possible to see the pubic... more

Tummy tuck questions

Often when a tummy tuck is done, the pubic hair region can ride up a bit. That is because there is looseness in that skin just as in the abdominal skin. When I design a tummy tuck, I try to compensate for that by making the lower incision EXTRA low and cut out a good portion of the skin of the pubis area. If that is not done, the scar ends up too high and the hair bearing pubic area also ends up too high. Good question and observation.

Precision in planning an abdominoplasty incision

There can be a good deal of individual differences in anatomy when examining the abdomen for an abdominoplasty. Technically we try to avoid any elevation of the mons or pubic hair area. Planning, of course, is the key to a good result. In the pre operative area I generally have the patient place their hands on the lower abdomen and pull up. Next I mark the location of the incision in the midline. This mark is placed precisely 6 cm above the superior... more

Low Transverse Incision for Tummy Tuck

When I perform tummy tucks, I put the scar as low as possible with the lateral portion of the scars low as well (no smiley face). That waythe scar above the pubic area and the scar to the sides are both low and not visible in clothing.

Tummy tuck pubic hairline

The goal of this and every surgery should be to keep the scars as inconspiquous as possible. In the case of tummy tuck, they should be low enough to be covered by underwear of bathing suit. Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon and make sure that you are comfortable with their explanations. Dr. Hargrave

Pubic Hairline and Scar Elevation After Tummy Tuck

Planning the surgery so the incision and pubic hairline do not raise up is part of doinga good tummy tuck. My goal is to keep about 10 to 14 centimeters (or 4 to 5 inches) between the belly button and the incision so it can be covered by most underwear or bikinis.

Tummy tuck hairline management

Part of the art of abdominoplasty is determining where the hairline will be. There is no correct answer, but keeping it low is usually the most desirable so that bikinis are still an option. Address this issue with your BCPS. Best of luck to you.

Managing the incision in tummy tuck

Managing the incision is one of many important considerations in the surgeon's planning for an individual patient's TT. Ideally the main incision will be low, often at the upper margin of the pubic hairline, and, ideally it will stay there. If the pubic hairline is too high, most likely the whole incision is higher than is ideal. Depending upon how much excess skin is present, the surgeon will have to decide among alternative "compromises" to get the best outcome. When you... more
