Is tummy tuck possible with large existing vertical scar? (Photo)

Pioneering740878
I had major abdominal surgery 10 years ago to remove a tumor (size of a volleyball!) and ovary. The scar is from belly button to pubic bone. Between the stretch from that tumor and my two pregnancies following, I am so self conscious about my stomach. I'm a good 30 pounds from my goal, but no matter my weight, my lower stomach always looks like a butt
