Will a Tummy Tuck Scar Drop over Time?

Tummy tuck scars tend to stay where the surgeon placed it or it might rise. If the scar is too high now, it will not drop. Depending on the tension across the incision, the scar usually tends to rise. I place my suprapubic scar 6cm above the convergence of the labia majora and also use suture fixation internally to prevent the pubic area being pulled up into the lower abdomen.

If your scar is too high now, it will not 'drop' into a better position over time. It was likely placed too high to begin with, and the tension created by TT closure promotes an upward 'drift' of TT scars. I try to place my TT scars as low as possible, relying on the zones of adhesion along the groin area to limit the migration of the scar upward.
