Is a tummy tuck possible with my scar on stomach? (photos)

January 14, 2022
Asked By:Rledesma96 in Phoenix, Arizona

I have a scar from when I had pyloric stenosis at 3 weeks old. Will I still be able to get a tummy tuck? If so, would the scar still be visible and where about would it sit? I do not mind the actual scar, but its very fatty around it and would like it to be flat. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
