Tummy tuck is performed through a horizontal incision right above the bikini line. The incision leaves scarring, but the scarring is low enough to be concealed beneath a bikini bottom or pair of underwear. Dr. Landsman will plan out your scar with you ahead of time so you can see exactly where it will be placed. Good scar management techniques, such as silicone sheets or topical creams, can help the scar fade over time.
