Will people be able to tell that I’ve had a tummy tuck?

The answer to this question depends on the clothing you are wearing and the condition of your tummy prior to tummy tuck surgery. In the vast majority cases the answer is yes as skin quality and tightness are significantly improved. I take great care in proper positioning of the postoperative scar to place in your bathing suit line so this will not be visible. Patients with larger amounts of excess skin and fatty deposits may have even more dramatic results. All patients have some postoperative swelling which may take several months to resolve. Overall, scar maturation, softening and fading may take up to a year and a half after tummy tuck surgery.
