I have a tummy tuck scheduled and I'm concerned about my pubic hair being pulled up higher from the incision. I don't want to have to shave my belly. Is there any way to avoid that from happening or is that in the PS hands?

Answer: Raising your pubic hair Thank you for the question.With proper technique, this should not occur. I avoid raising the pubic hair by keeping the incision low and tacking your incision down to your abdominal wall to avoid superior migration. I would make sure you are having your surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience performing the procedure. Best regards,Spencer Eagan M.D.

Answer: Hairy tummy Hi and thank you for your question. It's a really important point that the surgeon needs to avoid with the planning of your surgery. Generally the incision line will remove some of your public hair so that when it is pulled up to meet the tummy coming down, the pubic hair ends in the same place it always was.Having a hairy tummy is not the look your PS will be going for.I hope that helpsBest of luck with your surgeryDr Sam CunneenPlastic And Reconstructive SurgeonPerth, Western Australia
