What Will My Scar Look Like After A Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck surgery and what happens during recovery really does vary from patient to patient, so predicting what your particular scarring will look like exactly is difficult. Still, the surgeons we work with are very experienced and can give you a pretty good idea ahead of time.

Speaking more generally, a tummy tuck will give you a permanent scar from hipbone to hipbone just above the pubic area. This is really unavoidable due to just how much skin the procedure affects. That being said, the scar won't be visible under almost any form of clothing - including bathing suits. Tummy tuck scars may appear to worsen during the first 3-6 months as it heals. This is perfectly normal and nothing to get worked up about. Later, after 9-12 months have gone by, the scar flattens out and lightens in color.

The length of the scar depends entirely on how extensive the procedure is. The more fat and skin the surgeon has to remove, the longer the scar will be. Unfortunately for some, and we mention this only because it's a fact of the surgery that we have to inform clients about, people with darker rather than fairer skin will experience more prominent scarring in the aftermath of the procedure.
