Can my mini tummy tuck incision be placed this low?

January 17, 2009
Asked By:Holly J in KY

I am 5'2, 105 pounds, and in pretty good shape. I am considering a Mini Tummy Tuck. I think the underlying muscle is ok, it feels firm and I have very little remaining fat on my stomach. It looks firm and tight when I stand up straight but when I bend over, my stomach sags terribly. The skin on my lower abdomen has a very soft and loose feel to it. I am very self conscious of this, as I was in excellent shape prior to having my second child. My concern is that I don't want to wind up with a huge visible scar. Can the incision be placed low enough that it is mostly camoflauged in the line of pubic hair?
