My question is about the incision line of a tummy tuck. In the area where it impacts the pubic region is there any issue with the hairs becoming ingrown into the suture area?

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Ingrown hairs are usually not a problem after surgery. If you are an appropriate candidate, a tummy tuck can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
