I asked this question the other day, but I felt I needed to be more specific, as well as adding more photos. I had a mini tummy tuck 3 years ago. The scar from it, is pretty long. Longer than I thought a mini would be. I am now wanting to redo my surgery and get a full tummy tuck. Can I use the same scar, without going any longer? I do not want my side tattoos to get messed up. Obviously my stomach tattoo will get cut off, and that is fine. I'm attaching multiple photos.
