Does a tummy tuck result in a higher pubic hair line due to stretching?
Thank you for posting your interesting question. A tummy tuck can be designed with a low incision that is concealed in your bikini or usual Victoria Secret underwear. It is important to express your concern to your plastic surgeon at the time of your consultation. The design of the tummy tuck is very important. Many surgeons start the incision too high and as a result, the final tummy tuck incision goes too high over time. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with tummy tucks .At the time of your consultation, you will have a detailed history and physical exam, discuss your goals and surgical options and reviewing dozens of the plastic surgeon's before and after tummy tuck results. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Removal of tissue in a tummy tuck will result in a scar between the upper and lower incision sites. This may elevate the pubic hairline. A skilled Plastic Surgeon will spend time designing the incision to keep it as low as possible in the midline.
