Tummy Tuck - will my surgery scars cause any issues? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural with minimal scarring on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flatter and firmer abdominal contour and profile.
Your previous scar should not be an issue since during tummy tuck the excess skin below the belly button is typically removed and the scar should be able incorporated and removed as well.
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz

You still should be able to undergo a tummy tuck with your surgical scar. Be sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for your consultation. The procedure will actually remove the majority of your scar and move the remaining portion lower.
