Can I use the same scar from my mini tuck to get a full tummy tuck?

Asked By:jenwest1013

I had a mini tuck a few years ago and the scar is quite long for a mini. I'd now like to get a full tummy tuck, but I'd like to use the same scar, so my side tattoos won't be affected. I know the tattoo on my stomach will get messed up and that's fine. The picture is from a week out of surgery, so the scar isn't healed and my stomach is still sore tight.
