I have vertical scar that is about 18 yrs old from a previous surgery. I’m starting to hate the appearance of it. What are my options for revision, tummy tuck, etc ?
Answer: Tummy tuck A tummy tuck can be done for you and will remove part of he old scar. However there will be a new scar across the lower abdomen. I think it will improve the appearance considerably but only you can determine if it is worth the additional scar involved.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Hello,Your scar is noticeable because it is adherent to the muscle wall, giving a deep depression. This can be made flat, with a much finer scar. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring. Best of luck!
