How long is the scar in tummy tuck surgery?

The length of the scar in tummy tuck surgery will be shorter for a mini tummy tuck as opposed to a full tummy tuck. In a mini tummy tuck the umbilicus is not repositioned and a smaller amount of skin will be removed. The scar can be concealed in a bikini and is about as long as a C-section incision. In a full tummy tuck, a much greater amount of excess skin is removed and therefore the incision is longer and will extend from hip to hip or longer. Dr. Linderman will ask you to bring a two-piece bathing suit to surgery. He will then mark the outlines of your suit and then carefully place your surgical incisions so they are concealed in your bathing suit lines.
