1st the doctors on here are so nice to respond to all our questions!! Q. I have noticed that tummy tuck scars are mostly placed 2 different ways..1 straight across the abdomen and the other run over the pubic bone and up just above the thigh crease more or less.. is there a reason for this or just different techniques. I am looking to get TT this year.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Scar Hi there The placement of the scar is determined by the degree of laxity [excess skin ] and the natural curves of your lower torso .Generally we try to place the scars as low as possible so they are easily concealed by minimal clothing , and we take measures to try to optimize scar quality .This should mean in the long-run that you can enjoy your new shape without too much inhibition from the scars .CheersTerrence

Answer: Incision Placement Hello,Thank you for your question. The incision is usually made across the lower abdomen, a little above the pubic area and beneath the bathing suit line. An incision is also made around the belly button to free it from the surrounding skin. I ask my patients to bring in a favorite pair of underwear so that we can use this as a guide for planning. Factors such as the amount of excess skin available and the patient's personal preference are used to place Abdominal incisions.I recommend that you discuss these specifics with your Plastic Surgeon.All the best
