Im 25 and I had my appendix remove but I was really young back then it was the old way. I start growing up and gaing a lot of weight and had a baby. Im planning to have a mommy makeover on May 2018. I was wondering if I would be elegible to get a tummy tuck with this scar. Leaving pictures
Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Milanmom, Thanks for posting your pictures. Tummy tuck is one of the best investment in your self. In addition to removing the Appendectomy scar it will give you the following benefits: Flat stomach, tight and youthful looking skin, nice belly button, improved body posture and most likely you will lose significant amount of weight due to the abdominal muscle tightening that will reduce the amount of food that you can eat and your sense of hunger. All these changes will increase your confidence, your self esteem, your sense of femininity and will make shopping fun again... You have to realize, though, that not all results are the same, because experience, skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely, to avoid bad result and need for corrective surgery that will double your cost and recovery time. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with the above mentioned features and low scar. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Yes, it shouldn't be a problem The appendix scar should not pose much of a problem as long as there isn't a hernia. The scar will be removed most likely during a full abdominoplasty.

Answer: Can I have a tummy tuck with this appendix surgery scar? An abdominal scar that low on the abdomen should not prevent you from having a tummy tuck. Good luck!

Answer: Tummy tucks can get rid of abdominal scars, like c-section scars Yes! It appears as though you could get a great result with a tummy tuck and it looks like I can totally get rid of your appendix surgery scar. During a tummy tuck, I remove the excess abdominal skin and I tighten the muscles to get rid of scars and a lot of stretch marks as well as making the belly flatter. The surgery can be combined with breast implants or a lift (Mommy Makeover) as you mentioned. This is great as it saves recovery time and money. The recovery takes 1-2 weeks depending upon the extent of the surgery. Thank you for your question! Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon

Answer: Can have mommy makeover with appendix scar The appendix scar will not be an issue and will be removed during a tummy tuck. You may be a candidate for Vaser ultrasound liposuction instead, which can flatten that area as well.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. You appendectomy scar can be completely removed. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
