Tummy Tuck Scars are often uneven despite the fact that they were made symmetrically to start with for a few good reasons. The most important concern is to make the tummy symmetric rather than the scar symmetric.

Another reason is that you are not symmetric to start with so often more has to be removed or re-draped on one side more than another including making sure your scar lies flat with our skin redundancy ("dog ears") which means the scar will be longer to take care of that problem.
