I am scheduled to have my TT on March 1st. I'm so excited to start this journey! The tattoo that I have down the side of my hip is so important to me as it symbolizes my relationship with my husband. I meant to ask my surgeon about my tattoo during my consultation, but totally forgot to mention it. What are the chances of my TT cutting into my tattoo?

Answer: Tummy tuck / Abdominoplasty Tattoo Looking at the tattoo placement and the amount of laxity that you have in the photo, your tattoo will likely be affected from a full abdominoplasty. I think trying to limit the incision to salvage your tattoo will lead to less than optimized result. Your best bet is to allow the surgeon to plan the abdominoplasty incision as if the tattoo were not there and then touching up your tattoo after the scar has healed.

Answer: Abdominoplasty The short answer is yes. Judging from your photo there is a significant chance a portion of your tattoo will be excised. Your surgeon should be able to tell you exactly how much will be removed.Good luck.
