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!

Answer: Absolutely Possible! Thanks for your question. Having realistic expectations is a good start on your decision process. It's really hard to tell how deep the scar tissue is but it should be possible to perform liposuction and tummy tuck together to make the skin tight by removing the excess skin. Liposuction will remove the fat all around your abdomen and waist. Overall the improvement will be on a high level. The scar appearance hopefully would be only visible but not as prominent. I'd advise you to have a consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon.
