I had a tummy tuck a couple years ago and i want to redo it but the doctor i went to needs to do a vertical scar.. why???
Answer: Tummy tuck With a revision of your tummy tuck the skin around the umbilicus will get pulled down but might not be able to be removed. So the skin from the sides of the umbilicus would have to be closed in a small vertical line.

Answer: Revision can be done followed by proper scar laser treatment Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Vertical scar A small vertical scar with a tummy tuck represents the skin formerly around the belly button. During a tummy tuck that skin is pulled down towards the hips. In some patients there is not enough skin to pull down whereby the belly button hole is also removed. In those cases the belly button hole is sutured closed and presents as a small vertical scar. Your surgeon should be able to demonstrate for you.

Answer: The physical laws we are bound to Although you have skin laxity above the umbilicus, there isn't enough to let the old attachment to the belly button (which becomes a hole in the skin when it is detached) to travel far enough down to be cut out with excess skin. And btw, your transverse scar is already too high, and a small vertical midline scar is much more inconspicuous than a high transverse scar. Let the doctor do it and ask him/her to lower your transverse scar as far as possible.
