Recently, I had a Tummy Tuck with inguinal hernia repair about 8 weeks ago. My plastic surgeon stated I could have a mini Tummy Tuck. Turns out I had severe Diastasis Recti, so my tummy tuck became standard? I was surprised to see the 2 inch scar below my belly button after surgery, and was told that the skin had changed color from being too tight, so this scar was necessary. I am not pleased with the look of either this scar or my belly button and I also still see abdominal profile as bulging as before. What happened?

Answer: Tummy tuck scars
A small scar under the umbilicus if it is betweent he closure and the new umbilical closure may represent the old scar from the umbilicus. Without photos or an exam it is hard to say.

Answer: Scar under Belly Button after Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks are very popular and effective way to contour the abdomen. A tummy tuck is designed by using a low abdominal scar along with a small scar at the bellybutton. It is unusual to have a scar underneath the bellybutton. Discuss with your plastic surgeon the placement of the scar. It may have been necessary to perform because of some characteristic of the hernia repair.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of the scar, discuss with your search in the different modalities that may be used to make the scar less obvious.
