I would like to have a TT because I have loose skin both above and below my belly button. I don’t need lipo and don’t have muscle separation. I am 5’1” and weigh 102lbs. I previously had breast implants and my scars sit lower than my inframmary fold. My concern is that a TT would make my scars sit lower after abdominal skin tightening. Do I have any option for scar revision at the same time as having a TT?

Answer: Breast scars/Tummy tuck The tummy tuck could pull your breast scars down a little more but it would likely be a few MM, not multiple CM. Are your implants in the proper position? Sometimes capsular contracture can cause the implants to migrate up and the scars then appear low. Something you could correct during the tummy tuck as well. An exam could help identify what is all going on and what to do first vs doing them at the same time. You're a great candidate for an abdominoplasty. Make sure to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to help a discuss your options in person.

Answer: Tummy tuck and scars Dear Nice728706, tummy tuck will not affect your previous breast scars. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
