Tummy Tuck with NO SCAR! Is it possible?

A tummy tuck procedure is performed when a patient has excess skin that needs to be removed. Patients often also need abdominal muscle tightening and liposuction. When an incision is made to remove excess skin, a scar is inevitable. Everything possible is done to minimize the appearance of this scar; it is always possible to revise a scar later on if necessary. I would recommend having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so they can address your concerns. Patients that benefit from a tummy tuck are generally happy to have flat, tight abdomens in exchange for a scar.

In short, the answer is no, there's no way to have a tummy tuck without a scar.
That's assuming that you need excess skin removed, along with other
aspects of the procedure (muscle tightening in most cases and possibly
some light liposuction). When you remove skin, a scar is inevitable.Since
you're interested in the procedure, I'd suggest you arrange at least one
consultation with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who
performs many tummy tucks each year. Voice your concerns about
scarring, listen to the ways he or she can help minimize the impact of
the incision, then make your decision. In my experience, patients who
indeed benefit from a tummy tuck are almost universally happy they
traded their abdominal problems for a scar.Elliot Jacobs, M.D.New York Plastic Surgeon
