I had a tummy tuck done in June and needs to be completely redone and extended but I am also wondering if instead I should get an FDL tummy tuck my current surgeon I'm looking at said that would make an ugly scar and he won't do it but I want to have the results so I'm wondering if it's worth it to get more opinions or if you thought if they redid and pulled tighter an extended should work? I don't like that vertical scar but I don't like the skin more!
