Tummy Tuck Low Scar Technique? (photos)

October 27, 2015
Asked By:Ms QT in Westfield, NJ

Can anyone help me understand the technique and positioning of a tummy tuck scar? Is there a technique to getting it low. Is it different based on size of the person? (ie: thinner people cannot have a low scar because there's not enough skin to stretch) I see some really high and some really low scars. Are high scars due to inexperienced surgeons? Based on my shape, could I have low scar?
