Is it possible to have the skin of my stomach tightened and have the scar placed under the breasts where implant scarring would be? The only thing stopping me from a tummy tuck is the massive scar that accompanies it. My stomach isn't that bad. In fact, it's just the skin around my bellybutton that needs addressed. But if I'm getting my breasts done anyway, I was just wondering if that can be the only scar location. Thank you!!!

Answer: Reverse Abdominoplasty This is a valuable technique in situations where a scar already exists across the lower pole of the breasts (e.g. after anchor-type breast reduction or lift). The scar is not limited to the scar from a breast augmentation, and can be quite conspicuous where it crosses the sternum. You may be a candidate for an RF skin tightening technique if the amount of excess skin is minimal. This would allow you to avoid a scar entirely. Be sure to consult with a surgeon who can offer all these options.

Answer: "Tummy tuck" where the scar is placed below breasts and not along the pubic hair line? Hi. Both procedures have completely different techniques and work in completely different areas of the body. The thightening of your wall rectus abdominal muscles implied a flap that is perform pulling excess skin down, no up, and dealing with more skin further below your belly button to obtain a flat abdomen. If pulling upwards it may enlarge the look of your pubis area, making it elongate.Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (International)
