With a Tummy Tuck will stretch marks above the belly button be further "stretched" or "moved" to a lower position? (Photo)

The
loose skin and lower stretch marks can be removed with a tummy tuck
and the upper stretch marks brought to a lower position where they will be less
obvious. It is usually possible to have a low scar line which is covered by a
bathing suit bottom.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who gives you an exact answer based on limited 2 dimensional photos and without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS)  that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert

In most instances all of the stretch marks from below the belly button are removed. You may be one of those individuals where a large portion of or all of the stretch marks above the belly button could possibly be removed as well. This can only be a intra operative decision. If this is the case, then you will have very little if any remaining stretch marks. If there are remaining stretch marks they will be in the lowest area of the abdomen--- down by your pubic hair line. Also, with the stretching of the skin the remaining stretch marks will appear much less obvious.
