What does a tummy tuck with v incision mean and what would it look like?

edie1121
I saw a PS regarding a full tummy tuck.I have what he considered a very low c-section scar. He said it might be necessary to add a "v" incision. He said because my skin might be pulled to much upon suturing causing my Incision to not heal properly. He mentioned he wouldn't know if he would have to do it until the day of surgery. Can someone please paint a clear picture of what he was talking about. Is it one long v shaped incision or is it another v incision on top of a traditional incision
