Basically I am wanting to know if the tummy tuck scar can be placed the pelvic area for a more seamless appearance, as in placing the scar where the thigh meets the pelvis instead of along the stomach. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Answer: Scars Yes, incisions can be placed rather low. I often have patients bring in their bikini or underwear and try to place the scar just below. Everyone is different, of course, but hiding incisions generally isn't a problem. In addition, if scars are your concern, you will want to see someone who creates very natural belly buttons.

Answer: Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty / Mini Tummy Tuck / Liposuction / Revision Tummy Tuck I appreciate your question. The tummy tuck scar can be placed as low as possible by your surgeon. If the scar is placed too low, you wont be able to get the skin as tight and the purpose of the procedure is defeated. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz
