Hello, I am 28 years old and 4’11 i have had 3 sections and have a 4 finger ab seperation. i am 113 pounds, and my highest weight has been 180. I wasfirst quoted for an extended tummy tuck, breast lift and implants. they then said i should probably get a fleur de lis instead of the extended. I really do not want the vertical scar. What would be your recommendations?

Answer: Which tummy tuck technique would be best while avoiding a vertical scar? (photos) Thanks so much for your question, You're petite with a wide diastasis and likely loose upper abdominal skin. if you absolutely don’t want the vertical scar, an extended tuck with high-tension technique might still give you a great improvement I would suggest being treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Answer: Extended Tummy Tuck or Lower Body Lift Thank you for your question. An extended tummy tuck or possibly even a lower body lift (circumferential tummy tuck) would likely be the best option for your situation, as it effectively addresses the lower abdomen and the flanks and allows for the repair of the abdominal separation. It will also avoid the drawbacks of the fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, which would leave a vertical scar down the center of your abdomen. A detailed consultation with your surgeon is essential to discuss your options and ensure the procedure aligns with your goals of avoiding vertical scarring while achieving the best possible results.

Answer: You’ll need vertical scar tummy tuck Hi, according to your pictures, we can surely say that without vertical scar, you can’t get rid of the excess skin. In my opinion your benefits from this surgery will be much more than discomfort caused by scars
