Mini tummy tuck scars may be easier to conceal after plastic surgery. If the doctor opts to perform liposuction prior to the tuck, there may be one small incision for the instrument. When it comes time for the tummy tuck, the scar will like span the entire abdomen horizontally. However, it will be below the bikini line. In any case, a scar is better than the alternative. Loose folds of skin present a serious hygiene threat. In addition, it can make normal daily activities more difficult. Once the doctor has separated the skin form the abdominal wall, the excess will be pulled taunt over the lower abdomen. Once the extra epidermis is removed, the incision is closed. In truth, a scar is but a badge of honor, after successfully completing a major weight loss plan.
