The incisions needed for your tummy tuck will depend on which type you are getting. For all tummy tucks, our staff uses the thinnest incisions needed to minimize scars. They also place incisions in less visible areas (in the pubic region or belly button) so they can be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. After your surgery, it is important to adhere to your scar management instructions so your incisions heal properly and blend into your natural skin.
