Doctors why do people's tummy tuck scars look zig zag or in a V? When getting a tummy tuck why can't the scar be straight? I want the surgery but I don't want my scar to be like that.

Answer: Tummy tuck scars Typically, a tummy tuck incision is made just above the pubic region, hidden by a bikini bottom or underwear, as well as an incision around the belly button. The length of the scar is determined by the amount of skin required to remove. A scar that may have had wound healing complications or was performed by a surgeon that is not experienced in the procedure can have an unsightly appearance. The best suggestion is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss wound-healing and scarring risks, as well as viewing before-and-after photos of the surgeon's work.

Answer: Tummy tuck scars can be straight or slightly curved Thank you for your question. In my experience tummy Tuck scars are almost always straight or with Ace very slight curve up at the ends. I have never seen in the shape or zigzag scar done by a plastic surgeon who is experienced in board certified. Please see the link below.
