After complications at child birth I had to have an emergency hysterectomy and now have a scar starting
Q. After complications at child birth I had to have an emergency hysterectomy and now have a scar starting just below my belly button approx 12cm down. I was wondering whether a tummy tuck would minimise the apperance of the scar as well as some strech mark treatments.
A. Thank you for your inquiry. An abdominoplasty procedure (Tummy tuck), usually removes the skin and fatty tissue below the bellybutton and above the mons area. It does replace the vertical scar however with a relatively long horizontal scar, but can lead to a more aesthetic appearance of the abdomen, and reduce the chance of seeing the scar when wearing a bikini.
