Do tummy tuck scars have to be so long? (Photo)

April 8, 2020
Asked By:deserayxo in Avon Park, Florida

So I previously asked a question and many doctors said from the look of it I may need a tummy tuck. I love to wear high rise bathing suits. Does the scar need to be from hip to hip? I would hate for it to show, and hate how long the tummy tuck scar is. That is the main reason I am avoiding the procedure. Are there shorter scars that don't extend to the hips? Or does it need to be from hip bone to hip bone?
