Hi Chrissy1290, for the abs my doc made small incisions in the folded skin around my belly button. I already had some scarring there from a previous non-cosmetic abdominal surgery, and in my case I think he made my belly button look better! The other incision is a tiny little cut maybe as big as this --- in the pubic area. I'm kinda "natural" down there so it is hidden in the hair. For the flanks I was left with two tiny dots, not even cuts really, one on either side of the the base of my spine. My doc also made an incision on each side, hard to describe but the best I can say is about 1/2 way down my hips on the side of the cheek. The left side is tiny and not noticable. The right side is much longer and right now is still purpley red colored and very noticable. It doesn't really bother me because I feel I look so much better now. Also I'm using the neosporin scar patches which I have used before on non-cosmetic surgical scars with great results. If you are worried about scarring I strongly urge you to question your doctor closely about it. My guy had tons of before and after photos to show me so I felt confident about his work. Ask him to draw the scars on you with a pen (he will draw all over you in prep for the surgery, this is not as goofy as it might sound) and you can see if you could live with it or not. Good Luck!
