Why would thin person need long vertical TT scar?

Adventurous5183
I had a tt with horizontal and vertical scar. The vertical scar is from bellybutton to horizontal scar. I knew I would need small vertical as I didn’t have a ton of excess skin and I was ok with that, but then I ended up needing a long vertical. I’ve never experienced weight loss (I’m 5’4, 140 lbs, very fit). Under what circumstances does a thin person also need the vertical?
