Why would I have a vertical scar for a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Asked By:avmommy1234 in Aliso Viejo, CA

I’ve written in regarding possible liposuction and thank you to all the doctors who responded. I’m now considering a tummy tuck because want a predictable outcome. I really don’t want to take the chance with lipo and be left with loose skin only to have to have another surgery. I’ve have 3 consultations and everyone mentioned a vertical scar, plus the traditional TT scar. Why would I have the extra scar if my skin laxity is less than the typical TT patient. I’m 5’, 101 lbs, no stretch marks
