Does This Look Like a "Normal" Tummy Tuck Scar? (photo)

Asked By:lmc922000

I had a tummy tuck on April 23, 2012. This is what my scar looks like now. My C-section scar was a sliver of a line, barely visible. This is NOT what I was expecting since I already know how my body scars and heals. Are tummy tuck scars all that different? Also, is this the "best" possible outcome? My surgeon promised me a flat tummy, however, you can see from the pic that my tummy hangs over my scar. He told me that this was the way my body healed, etc. and that this was my result.
