I have an old scar on my right lower side of chest for rib graft around 25 yrs ago. 2 of the plastic surgeons I consulted said it will be risky to raise the skin flap for distasis Recti repair for fear of post surgical ischemia and necrosis due to old scar. They offered tummy tuck without raising skin flat n not performing muscle repair. How ever there plastic surgeons said it is quiet high in chest and old so it won't pose any problem with full tummy tuck. Please help me to make right choice
