Is it normal to have an incision above my pubic area beside the incision across my abdomen?

Hi Pinay2u,
The upper abdominal skin stretches downward in a tummy tuck, through a combination of undermining to the costal margin (rib edges) and sitting you up in bed. For some patients, the amount of skin that can be removed does not extend to the level of the umbilicus...when this occurs, the site where the surgeon cuts around the umbilicus is closed vertically. This allows you to have a low scar with a short vertical portion, as opposed to a horizontal scar at the top edge of your current vertical incision.
Hope this helps.

Unless you had an old scar from previous surgery, your surgeon attempted to remove some vertical excess of skin with this scar. The scar could be revised or treated with micro-needling. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

The vertical scar above your pubic area is likely from your old belly button site. During a tummy tuck, the tummy is tightened, and the excess skin is removed. An incision is made around the belly button initially; the skin is pulled tight; and the belly button is brought out through the skin. Ideally, the excess skin removed would include the old site of your belly button, so there would only be a horizontal scar. In your case, it was likely that the belly button site did not reach the lower incision, so the old belly button site was reclosed as a vertical scar. I would recommend visiting your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
