Which tummy tuck scar is better the straight or the V shape? (Photos)

Mayra2020Mar 14, 2019
I consulted with 2 different board certified doctors and each told me two different things. The 1st doctor told me that he will do a TT straight scar line. No lipo on the abdomen since I already had lipo. (however I think I still have some fat in one area) he also said no drain. The 2nd doctor said that he will do the TT scar in a curvy way like a (V). He said yes to lipo where is needed and he will leave one drain. I’m confused. What do I really need & whats best? Help me please!
