Is a Tummy Tuck Possible with Vertical Incision?
I am due to have a abdominal hysterectomy with vertical incision in a couple of month's time. I have asked about cosmtic surgery or Tummy Tuck Surgery at same time, and the consultant has said he will look at it, but not definitely agreed. What cosmetically could be done with a vertical incision? Is it possible to have a Tummy Tuck procedure with a vertical incision? I am worried that when they remove my enlarged uterus (looks about 6 months pregnant) due to multiple large fibroids, I will be left with lots of excess skin and saggy belly. I am also trying to lose some more weight prior to surgery as well. I've lost 30 lbs so far.
Vertical scar excision with tummy tuck
Thanks for your question - Typically if your vertical incision is below the belly button it is likely that all or most of the incision would be removed at the time of abdominoplasty. Results will be best if you are at your goal weight. Find a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your issues in depth. I hope this helps.
