Is the tummy tuck scar worth the result? (Photos)

User Avatar

I'm very muscular and active but I have excess skin over my belly button, diastasis recti, and my belly button sticks out more than it used to. My occupation requires me to show my abdomen and causes me to be very insecure about it. I was considering a tummy tuck, but am afraid that the scar will outweigh the results. Are there ways to avoid scarring? As in, paying for special scar treatments directly after surgery, and procedures that will fade the scar?
